  APAR PM00924 provides support for running IBM WebSphere
  Application Server V7.0 Feature Pack for SCA V1.0.1 Refresh Pack
  on z/OS. The WebSphere Application Server V7.0 Feature Pack for
  Service Component Architecture (SCA) V1.0.1 Refresh Pack
  provides updated Service Component Architecture (SCA)
  capabilities, which benefit both operations and development
  personnel in building and managing composite applications based
  on Service Oriented Architecture. SCA simplifies development and
  management of composite applications by moving service details
  out of the application and into the middleware. The developer
  can focus on the business logic, allowing more flexible
  management of composite applications that can respond to changes
  in the environment.
  
  Highlights of the IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature
  Pack for SCA V1.0.1 Refresh Pack include:
  
  * Java Message Service (JMS) binding support
    -   Added JMS binding support to allow SCA components to
        communicate with an asynchronous message queues (JMS API)
        in the following:
        --  WebSphere Application Server integration with
            WebSphere Default Provider
        --  WebSphere Application Server integration with
            WebSphere MQ
    -   Simple message transformations via API and hook point to
        plug in a user routine to convert between custom JMS
        payload formats and SCA application data. An additional
        API and hook point plugs in a custom operation selector.
    -   Dynamic resource creation allows for simplified
        development scenarios
  
  * Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) integration
    -   Build SCA composites within Java EE components - EJBs and
        Servlets
    -   Expose EJBs as SCA services
    -   Include transaction and security QoS for Java EE
        components
  
  * Web 2.0 support
    -   Expose SCA assets for use in scripting and Web 2.0
        applications through lightweight, Web-oriented protocols
        - ATOM and JSON-RPC
    -   Use SCA annotations in Web pages by leveraging JavaScript
        UI components to be composed on the server and returned to
        browsers or other JavaScript enabled runtimes. This allows
        SCA annotations to be used, and DOJO subroutines inserted
        to connect the UI to the back-end services.
    -   Includes security support for HTTP bindings.
  
  * Spring Framework support
    -   Support components implemented with the Spring Framework
        Version 2.5.5.  Developers can wrap applications written
        for the Spring Framework platform in the SCA composition
        model.
    -   Compose Spring applications with other types of
        applications as well as expose the Spring application via
        the various Feature Pack supported bindings
    -   Include security authorization for Spring component
        implementation
    -   Deliver transaction and security QoS for Spring Framework
        components
  
  * Service Data Objects (SDO) 2.1.1 support (provided as a
    optional feature via a separate PTF)
    -   Support as a data-binding on SCA service definitions,
        which are JSR 235 (SDO 2.1.1) compliant (requires the
        Feature Pack for XML as a prerequisite)
