SCA (Apache Tuscany) - <service> element external to <component>

[Ivan Krizsan]

Hi!
Is there anyone who has experience with configuration of <service> elements that are external to the <componet> element which is to be exposed as a service in SCA (Apache Tuscany 2.0M3)?
I have the following composite definition, which does not expose a web service, as it is supposed to do:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<composite
    xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200903"
    targetNamespace="http://sample"
    xmlns:sample="http://sample"
    name="ProblemManagement">

    <property name="logMessage">My property log message:</property>
    
    <component name="CreateTicketComponent">
        <implementation.java class="com.ivan.components.impl.CreateTicketServiceImpl" />
        <service name="CreateTicketService">
            <interface.java interface="com.ivan.components.CreateTicketService"/>
        </service>
        <property name="logMessage" source="$logMessage"/>
    </component>
    
    <component name="ProblemTicketComponent">
        <implementation.java class="com.ivan.components.impl.ProblemTicketServiceImpl" />
        <!--
            The service name must be the same as the interface implemented
            by the implementation class above.
        -->
        <service name="ProblemTicketService">
            <!--
                The interface of the component can be specified here in order
                to specify which operations of the service to expose.
                This interface does not have to be an interface that the
                component class implements.
                It is also possible to specify an existing WSDL as the
                interface for a service exposed as a SOAP web service.
            -->
            <interface.java interface="com.ivan.components.ProblemTicketService"/>
        </service>
        
        <reference name="createTicket" target="CreateTicketComponent" />
    </component>

    <!--
        The service name must be the same as the interface implemented
        by the implementation class above.
        If the <service> element is a child of the <composite> element,
        then the following attribute must be added to the <service> element:
        promote="ProblemTicketComponent"
    -->
    <service
        name="ProblemTicketService" promote="ProblemTicketComponent/ProblemTicketService">
        <binding.ws uri="http://localhost:8085/ProblemTicketService" />
    </service>
</composite>

I probably should ask the Tuscany people, but I am too lazy to join a mailing list for one single question.
There are no errors or warnings occurring in the log. If I move the <service> element into the ProblemTicketComponent <component>, merging it with the existing, and remove the promote attribute, then everything works as it should.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Ivan!
The latest milestone, milestone four of the 2.0 version, fixes this problem. Please upgrade the Apache Tuscany libraries and you should be fine!
Best wishes!
