In simplistic words, by using Apache Tuscany and SCA to define your your photo gallery component, you can decouple the business logic from the transport infrastructure specific APIs; and then expose your services trough multiple bindings such as webservices, web 2.0, etc and although we don't have a flex binding today, one could easily create a new binding in Tuscany to support it. This should simplify the framework and make the task of supporting a new type of client (flex versus ajax, etc) much easier. > > I like Hans' suggestions for the name as well.
