TARGET: SCA Assembly Specification

DESCRIPTION: If a component X has a reference with a binding attached to it (ws.binding or jms.binding) and with no target in SCA terms, and that component is used in a composite however the reference is NOT listed as promoted. Is the reference still operational and what should happen if the component code invokes it ?

That describes the common use case when a component is calling non-SCA world and that component needs to be used in an assembly. Does the assembler needs to promote a reference all the way up to the domain or he/she can leave it as it is ?

PROPOSAL: Clarify the issue, and add a separate section in the spec with examples how components calling non-SCA code via standard bindings can be used in assembly.
