Description _ gsporar 2007-02-15 06:10:39 UTC
Throughout the user interface the term "Composite Application" is used. For
example, to create one, choose File > New Project > Service Oriented
Architecture > Composite Application.  But under the JBI entry in the Runtime
tab the term "Service Assemblies" is used.  This is very confusing.

I understand completely the technical accuracy of the term "Service Assemblies,"
since that is the phrase that is used in the JBI 1.0 specification.  But since
we have popularized the term "Composite Application" and have made use of it in
the rest of the user interface it would *really* be more consistent, correct,
and understandable if the same term was used in the Runtime tab.

As an alternative, we could leave "Service Assemblies" in the Runtime tab but
make sure that "Composite Application" is used everywhere else in the IDE.  In
other words, always use "Composite Application" unless the context is *deployment*.

This would mean that in the project properties dialog for a composite
application, we should change the "General" node's dialog so that instead of the
strings "Service Assembly" and "Service Unit" it uses "Composite Application"
and "JBI Module."  But in the "Package Project" entry under "Build" we should
change "JBI File Name" to "Service Assembly File Name" since the context is
deployment.

The goal is simple: let's please use consistent naming.  Note that
