Could it be for the brand? or reputation? or simply because IBM really rocks... If i cannot use SCA without the aid of SCO, why would i go for IBM?

Can't say that I'm over ecstatic with it; SDO's dynamic typing and "kinda XML but not exactly" API IMO leaves a lot to be desired. PJ Murray:

It’s difficult to imagine using SCA without SDO. Have you looked at Service Data Objects? It’s difficult to imagine using SCA without SDO.

The IBM article referenced in http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/SCA+Resources demonstrates some good techniques to externalize input data and expected results using the com.ibm.websphere.bo.BOXMLSerializer. http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal//0608_artus/0608_artus.html http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0609_artus/0609_artus.html We've also prototyped copying POJOSDO using reflection. From there one could use Spring to inject test data. I'm currently looking at wiring mock objects in WID to simulate external services. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Alexander:

However, according to the spec (http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Specifications) SCA is supposed to work just fine outside the container, so I wonder if implementations from other vendors are more "TDD-friendly".

I was wondering, have you made any progress on this? I have also started working with SCA and have the same goals you have for TDD to test SCA components and interfaces outside the container.
