One of the goals of Tuscany/SCA is to make the distribution of
components simpler, so you need to worry less about things like using
ws.bindings in your composites because the Tuscany runtime
infrastructure handles the remote communications for you.

As an example, the helloworld-webapp sample does include the
contribution from the helloworld sample but if you remove that
contribution from the webapp and run the helloworld sample separately
and start both with the distributed domain support enabled then the
webapp will continue to work and will use the remote helloworld
service.
