NEW ISSUE: SCA Spring C & I specification should mention how implicitservices should be determined for special bean definitions

Raiser:   Ramkumar Ramalingam

Target:  sca-springci-1.1-spec-WD02.pdf

Description:

The SCA Spring Client and Implementation specification should mention how
implicit services should be determined for the following bean definition
as shown below.

Scenario 1:

<bean id="bean1" class="calculator.calculatorImpl"
abstract="true">

....

....

</bean>

Scenario 2:

<bean id="bean1" parent="calculator.calculatorImp">

....

....

</bean>

Scenario 3:

<bean id="bean1" factory-bean="calculator.CalculatorFactory">

....

....

</bean>

The current specs says that in case of
implicit services, if there are no <sca:service/> elements in the
application context, then services are defined by each of the top-level
<bean/> elements in the application context. For the following scenarios
shown above, its not valid to create a service.

Proposal: 

The specification should state that, for
these scenarios the services will not be defined and these beans will be
ignored for exposing as service.
