OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) TC

  • 1.  November 29 - Reballot of Public Review Draft

    Posted 11-19-2012 23:10
    Hi TOSCA-ers, The good news is our Committee Spec Draft 05 Spec (1) is published. The bad news is that it was missing a conformance section/statement, which is required for the document to go the Public Review. In the spirit of turning "lemons into lemonade," and thanks to additional hard work by Thomas Spatzier, we have taken the opportunity to incorporate some "bug fixes," along with the necessary conformance text into new WD14 and WD14 redline versions of the spec (2). Those bug fixes are summarized below (3). As you know, there is no meeting this week due to the US Thanksgiving holiday. Since OASIS electronic ballots take a week, it is easier and not much slower to just vote again on the new versions on November 29th. Please make every effort to attend the meeting. If you have any concerns, please contact the co-chairs and editors.

For example, there are unnecessarily references to the WSDL namespace (see lines 88 - Table 1). Similarly, BPEL, BPMN, OVF and WSDL are also incorrectly listed as normative in lines 36, 39, 41, 43. * Several MIME types referenced in examples (see lines 3108 thru 3121) have to be correctly to use officially registered MIME types. * line 491: CapabilityTypes should be replaced by CapabilityType to comply with schema and pseudo grammar * line 496: ArtifactTemplates should be replaced by ArtifactTemplate (no s at the end) to comply with schema and pseudo grammar * line 1236: typo - planLanuage should be planLanguage * lines 3108 thru 3121: correct bogus MIME types used in CSAR samples * line 3112: application/vnd.oasis.bpmn -> should be application/xml (or find right MIME type) * line 3115 application/vnd.oasis.ear should be application/java-archive * line 3118 application/vnd.oasis.jar should be application/java-archive * line 3121 application/vnd.oasis.py -> should be application/x-python * line 1237: correct use (non-normative) of BPMN namespace as defined in section 8.1.2 of BPMN spec * line 1323: use example http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL as defined in BPMN spec * line 4592: use ns http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL as defined in BPMN Thanks, Paul

    Hi all, a minor update to Paul's note: I just uploaded a minor update for wd-14 (fixed a hyperlink to the TOSCA schema in Appendix D - a finding by OASIS staff). Hope this is ok for all.

    Hi Thomas, I see no reason, given the nature of this advance notification to the TC, that this should be a problem. Thanks again for your diligence. Best, Paul
