This page will move to the website when it is complete. Please help to complete it. Thanks. What this is aboutAs of release 1.3 Tuscany SCA is distributed via one binary distribution that includes everything. Based on user feedback, choice of a smaller distribution packages is desireable. Tuscany community is in the process of addressing this requirement. Please see mailing list for that discussion. This is not the purpose of this page. Tuscany users have asked for a write-up that highlights module dependencies. This enables them to build their own distribution which may have a lower or higher granularity than the pre-packaged binary distributions. Purpose of this page is to help users understand how to build their own tuscany SCA light distribution based on module dependency knowledge that is shared here. Therefore: This page is not about building Tuscany building binary distributions to distribute This page is about understanding dependencies so that users can build their own distribution How to build your own distributionLet's first understand the different categories of module types in Tuscany. This understanding will help us determine how to put the modules together to have a runnable and useful system. Tuscany Modules CategorizedSCA programming Model: Assembly, Deployment, Management SCA provides a programming model for Construction, Assembly, Deployment and Management of network of services. Modules under these catetories support the SCA programming model. Tuscany Container Modules in this category are specific to running SCA in a Tuscany environment. Tuscany container also provides plug points for different host types, bindings, implementations, policies as well as deployment and management (contributions and domain handling). Policy Module in this category include support for enabling policies as well as policy types. Binding Modules in this category include various bindings that support different protocols. Typically Bindings are used with SCA programming model, Tuscany container and some component implementation types. Implementation Modules in this category include support for different component types. Basic SCA environment is needed to use any of these modules. Host Environment Modules in this category include support for different host environments, such as Tomcat, Jetty, etc. Module Category DependencyThis section explains the dependencies amongst various categories. This information can be used to define the scope of modules needed to perform different tasks using Tuscany. Category | Dependency | SCA Programming Model | None. It runs in any container | Tuscany Container | SCA Programming Model. Note that Tuscany Container has plug points for various host environments, but is not dependent on any. | polciy policy | Tuscany Container and SCA PM | Binding | Tuscany Container and some host environment depending on the protocol type | Implementation | Tuscany Container |
