Re: [soa-iwg] ECF and SOA initiative

Hi Ricco,

RE: the proposed roadmap: I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be any mention of OSGi standards work on distribution/remoting (i.e. RFC119) and the associated Runtime project work (i.e. Equinox and ECF) on implementing those OSGi 4.2 specs.

Things like service registrys, brokers, esbs/messaging, etc are certainly mentioned in the roadmap, but there isn't any connection (that I can detect) to whats going on in the OSGi standardization world in terms of specification (OSGi 4.2/Service Registry/RFC 119) or Equinox implemention of specs (in ECF 3.0 and beyond).

OSGi services, remoting, distribution, discovery, messaging is where ECF is focusing it's attention WRT service-oriented architecture, and this roadmap doesn't have anything about those (OSGi/Equinox) pieces at all as far as I can tell. This seems like a large omission to me.

I understand the desire to stick closely to SCA (for example), but it's pretty clear (to me at least) that OSGi 4.2/RFC119 is going to be an important way forward into SOA for OSGi-based runtimes...and so it seems to me that a reasonably comprehensive SOA initiative at the Eclipse Foundation would want to include that. Is that incorrect?

Scott,

Would it be possible to refocus the discussion to the actual SOA content?
I’d love to get your feedback to the proposed roadmap.
Especially I would like to hear from you what ECF could bring to the table.

Please find attached the latest version 0.3 from Zsolt including the Guiding Principles for the roadmap the group agreed upon.

Best,
Ricco
