Apache Tuscany Java SDO 1.0 beta1 Release (May 2007)
====================================================

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANY/Home

Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation
(ASF), sponsored by the Web Services PMC.

Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. 

While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or 
stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully
endorsed by the ASF.


Getting Started
===============

Checking authenticity of distributions
======================================
Each distribution archive is accompanied by an md5 message digest
(.md5 file) and an armored ascii signature file (.asc).  The public
key for verifying the signatures may be found in
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/KEYS

This distribution is available as source or binary archives. 

Source Distributions
====================

The source distribution is made up of two parts; the API and the
implementation.  The apache-tuscany-sdo-api*src* archives contain
source to build the the code implementing the SDO 2.1 specification
and the apache-tuscany-sdo-impl*src* archives can be used to build
the tuscany implementation of the specification.

The api and impl directories contain source archives in .tar.gz
or .zip formats.  Download the api and impl archives in the format of your choice
along with the corresponding .asc and .md5 files for verification of the
integrity of the archive.  Follow the instructions in the archives for building
first the spec component, then the impl component.


Binary distributions
====================

The binary archives in the bin folder were produced by following the
instructions for building the source distributions.  The binary archives
are distributed in .tar.gz and .zip file formats, and each archive
contains jars for both the SDO specification and the Apache Tuscany SDO implementation.

Sample Programs
===============

In addition the sample directory contains archives of the sample
programs.   If you have downloaded the binary SDO archive,  you can download
and build the sample programs using this archive.  If you have downloaded
the Tuscany SDO implementation source archive,  these sample programs are already part of
that archive.
