[frascati] POJO components with Tinfi

[Lionel Seinturier <Lionel.Seinturier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear FraSCAti users,

A quick message to mention a new feature with version 0.4.4-SNAPSHOT of 
Tinfi: unannotated POJO components are now supported.

With respect to the SCA specifications, a small limitation is that one 
can not have a POJO with polymorphic setters, i.e. a POJO which owns for 
example a property and a reference with the same name (which leads to a 
polymorphic setNNN method.) Of course, POJO with properties and 
references with different names are supported.

This limitation should be removed in the future. In the meantime, IHMO 
that shouldn't be a big limitation: I don't expect to bump into tons of 
POJO which would fall in the category of the limitation. If that wasn't 
the case, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll raise the priority of 
the task in my TODO list for implementing the code which will remove the 
limitation ;-)

Although I haven't checked (sorry about that), this new feature should 
be transparent for the Assembly Factory (in the sense that the Assembly 
Factory shouldn't need any modification to support POJO components.)

Cheers,
Lionel.
