In the SCA-J TC, thee has been some discussion about including version/date information. It has been awhile, but was generally viewed as a good thing, but may not have been done yet.

Hi Ron,

You said:

Are you saying that the SCA interfaces have nothing in them to indicate what version of SCA they are? What if they want to add a new method in a future version. How will users know which version of the interface they're using?

This really has nothing to do with the copyright notice (legal issue). It's just a question about documenting what version of SDO the interface is from? Maybe we can have another comment block after the copyright comment, if combining the information is a problem.

Thanks, Frank.

AW: [sdo] Groups - HelperContextCreation - v11.zip (commonj.zip) uploaded

Hi Frank, Everyone,

The v10 headers look like this:

/** * <copyright> * * Service Data Objects * Version 3.0 * Licensed Materials * * (c) Copyright BEA Systems, Inc., International Business Machines Corporation, * Oracle Corporation, Primeton Technologies Ltd., Rogue Wave Software, SAP AG., * Software AG., Sun Microsystems, Sybase Inc., Xcalia, Zend Technologies, * 2005-2008. All rights reserved. * * </copyright> * */

The headers I used, based on what's used by the SCA Java TC, look like this:

/* * Copyright(C) OASIS(R) 2005,2009. All Rights Reserved. * OASIS trademark, IPR and other policies apply. */ I'm not sure what "Licensed Materials" means, and I think the JavaDoc-like "/**" is just plain wrong, but I can't imagine that there would be a problem with adding SDO 3 to the header, giving

/* * Service Data Objects * Version 3.0 * * Copyright(C) OASIS(R) 2005,2009. All Rights Reserved. * OASIS trademark, IPR and other policies apply. */

On the otherhand, I can't imagine why it would be necessary. And the SCA-J header has already been through all of our legal departments, since SAP, IBM and Oracle are all active members of the SCA-J TC. I'm for whatever settles this ASAP, and with as little discussion as possible. Anyone want to run some permutation of this by their legal department?

Ron

Thanks for updating the headers. Legally, I think we're fine now, but I notice that you completely removed the old header including the part that said that it is SDO 3.0. Shouldn't we continue to keep at least that kind of version information in the header?

Thanks, Frank
