30-day Public Review for Service Component Architecture Spring Component Implementation Specification Version 1.1

The OASIS Service Component Architecture / J (SCA-J) TC [1] members have  
produced a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted it for 30-day  
public review:

Service Component Architecture Spring Component Implementation  
Specification Version 1.1

Committee Specification Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01

23 May 2011

Specification Overview:

The SCA Spring component implementation specification specifies how the  
Spring Framework [SPRING] can be used with SCA. This specification extends  
the SCA Assembly Model by defining how a Spring Framework application context  
provides an implementation of an SCA component, including its various  
attributes such as services, references, and properties and how that  
application context is used in SCA as a component implementation type. The  
goals of this specification are:

- Coarse-grained integration: The integration with Spring is at the SCA  
Component level, where a Spring application context provides a component  
implementation, exposing services and using references via SCA. This means  
that a Spring application context defines the internal structure of an  
implementation.

- Start from SCA Component Type: Use of Spring Framework to implement any  
SCA Component that uses WSDL or Java interfaces to define services, possibly  
with some SCA specific extensions.

- Start from Spring context: Generation of an SCA Component from any  
Spring application context and use that component within an SCA assembly.

TC Description:

The SCA-J TC defines the Java (tm) language binding for SCA components based  
on the SCA Assembly specification. The specifications include POJO/Spring  
client and implementation specification, a common annotations specification,  
an EJB binding specification and the J2EE integration specification. 

Public Review Period:

The public review starts tomorrow, 29 June 2011 and ends 29 July 2011.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from  
potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the  
sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
