Subject: Letter to OpenCSA TCs on conformance and dependancies
Hi, On behalf of the OpenCSA Liaison Subcommittee, i was asked to forward the following to each of the OpenCSA TCs for consideration and discussion. Within the next month or so we anticipate commencing public reviews for many of the SCA specifications. The TC process requires that each specification at Public Review, Committee Spec and OASIS Standard level, contain a conformance section listing one or more conformance clauses that define how to conform to the specification, or parts thereof. Like any other part of a specification, the conformance section should be complete prior to the public review. Also worth noting is that substantive changes to a conformance section after a public review, like any other substantive changes to a specification, will require a subsequent public review. Many of the SCA specifications have cross dependencies on each other, and in some cases it may not be possible to conform to a specification in its own right without reference to another “containing” SCA specification. For example, it may not be possible to conform to the SCA Policy specification without requiring conformance to the SCA Assembly spec as well. In order to build a complete picture and understand the cross conformance dependencies, the Liaison SC would like each TC to provide a list of other SCA specifications that in their opinion are required for conformance to each of their own specs. We can then use this list to ensure that the conformance sections in each specification is saying the right thing. Given that we are closing in on the public reviews we would like this information to be provided by 21 Jan 2009. cheers, Jeff Mischkinsky, Sanjay Patil - LSC Chairs > -- Jeff Mischkinsky jeff.mischkinsky@oracle.com Director, Oracle Fusion Middleware +1(650)506-1975 and Web Services Standards 500 Oracle Parkway, M/S 2OP9 Oracle Redwood Shores, CA 94065
