RAISER: Michael Rowley
 
TARGET: SCA Assembly Specification WD 2, section 6.4 Wire
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
If a component is deployed with a wire target, and then a later deployment includes a <wire> for the same component reference, what should happen?
 
Is the answer different if the multiplicity is 0..1, 1..1 or 0..n? If we treat 0..n so that new <wire> add targets for the reference, is there any way to remove targets?
 
What should happen for later conflicting <wire> deployments?
 
PROPOSAL:
 
(informally) Later wire deployments should override existing wire deployments for 0..1 or 1..1 references. For 0..n references, new <wire target=""> elements are additive. We should introduce a new attribute <wire all_targets=""> which replaces the complete list of targets for the @source.
