(PR) 15-day Public Review for SCA Policy Framework Version 1.1 and Testcases

The OASIS Service Component Architecture / Policy (SCA-Policy) TC [1]  
members have produced two updated Committee Specification Drafts (CSD) and  
submitted them for 15-day public review:

SCA Policy Framework Version 1.1

Committee Specification Draft 05 / Public Review Draft 03

05 December 2011

and 

TestCases for the SCA Policy Framework Version 1.1

Committee Specification Draft 03 / Public Review Draft 03

25 July 2011

Specification Overview:

SCA Policy specification provides a framework to support specification of  
constraints, capabilities and QoS expectations from component design through  
to concrete deployment. The capture and _expression_ of non-functional  
requirements is an important aspect of service definition and has an impact  
on SCA throughout the lifecycle of components and compositions. This  
specification describes the SCA policy association framework that allows  
policies and policy subjects specified using WS-Policy and  
WS-PolicyAttachment, as well as with other policy languages, to be associated  
with SCA components. 

TestCases for the SCA Policy Framework defines the TestCases for the SCA  
Policy specification. The TestCases represent a series of tests that an SCA  
runtime must pass in order to claim conformance to the requirements of the  
SCA Policy specification. 

TC Description:

The SCA Policy technical committee defines a policy framework for the core  
SCA Assembly model. 

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 12 December 2011 and ends 27 December 2011. The  
specification was previously submitted for a 15-day public review [2]. This  
15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review.  
Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file [3].

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.
