To OASIS members, Public Announce Lists:

The OASIS Service Component Architecture / J (SCA-J) TC has recently approved
the following specifications as a Committee Specification Drafts and approved
them for public review:

Service Component Architecture SCA-J Common Annotations and APIs Specification
Version 1.1 Service Component Architecture POJO Component Implementation Specification
Version 1.1

The SCA-J Common Annotations and APIs specification defines a Java syntax for
programming concepts defined in the SCA Assembly Model Specification. It
specifies a set of APIs and annotations that can be used by Java-based artifacts
described by other SCA specifications such as the POJO Component Implementation
Specification [JAVA_CI]. Specifically, this specification covers: 1. Implementation metadata for specifying component services, references, and
properties 2. A client and component API 3. Metadata for asynchronous services 4. Metadata for callbacks 5. Definitions of standard component implementation scopes 6. Java to WSDL and WSDL to Java mappings 7. Security policy annotations Note that other Java-based SCA specifications can choose to implement their own
mappings of assembly model concepts using native APIs and idioms when
appropriate.

The POJO Component Implementation specification extends the SCA Assembly Model
by defining how a Java class provides an implementation of an SCA component,
including its various attributes such as services, references, and properties
and how that class is used in SCA as a component implementation type. It
requires all the annotations and APIs as defined by the SCA-J Common Annotations
and APIs specification. This specification also details the use of metadata and
the Java API defined in the context of a Java class used as a component
implementation type.

The public review starts today, 23 November 2010, and ends 8 December 2010.
These specifications were previously submitted for a 60-day public review on 8
June 2009[1]; as well as a 15-day public review on 9 March 2010[2]; this 15-day
review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. All changes
are highlighted in the accompanying diff version.

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

committee may be found at the public home page of the TC at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=sca-j. Comments may
be submitted to the TC by any person through the use of the OASIS TC Comment
