XML Namespace for SCA Spring Component Implementation v1.1

23 May 2011

Introduction

This document describes the XML namespace name http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca-j/spring/200810 declared in Service Component Architecture Spring Component Implementation Specification Version 1.1. It also contains a directory of links to related resources. This XML namespace document documents the XML namespace name, and is maintained by the OASIS TC Administration.

Namespace URI Versioning Policy

The pattern of the SCA Spring Component Implementation namespace name URI is:

     http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca-j/spring/yyyymm

Where yyyymm is the century, year and month chosen by the TC for that version of the namespace URI.

It is the intent of the OASIS Service Component Architecture / J (SCA-J) Technical Committee that the SCA Spring Component Implementation namespace name URI will not change arbitrarily with each subsequent revision of the corresponding WSDL or XML Schema documents but rather change only when a subsequent revision, published in conjunction with a Committee Draft, results in non-backwardly compatible changes from a previously published Committee Draft.

Under this policy, the following are examples of backwards compatible changes that would not result in assignment of a new namespace URI:

• addition of new global element, attribute, complexType and simpleType definitions
• addition of new operations within a WSDL portType or binding (along with the corresponding schema, message and part definitions)
• addition of new elements or attributes in locations covered by a previously specified wildcard
• modifications to the pattern facet of a type definition for which the value-space of the previous definition remains valid or for which the value-space of the preponderance of instance would remain valid
• modifications to the cardinality of elements for which the value-space of possible instance documents conformant to the previous revision of the schema would still be valid with regards to the revised cardinality rule
