[Ann] freebXML Registry version 3.1 release

The freebXML Registry [OMAR] team is pleased to announce the release of version 3.1 of our royalty-free open source implementation of the ebXML Registry standard [OVERVIEW].

This release culminates more than a year of work and incorporates experience gained from a diverse community of users of freebXML Registry [USAGE].

*Release Contents*

Our latest release provides numerous bug fixes and a few new features. For a detailed list see [RELNOTES].

The new version provides a near, feature complete implementation of Registry Full conformance profile for the OASIS ebXML Registry 3.0 standard [ebRR]. The only missing feature is support for Single Sign On (SSO) based on the Registry SAML Profile. This implementation therefor currently only claims conformance to the Registry Lite profile for the OASIS ebXML Registry 3.0 standard.

The freebXML Registry also provides a feature complete implementation of level 1 conformance profile of the Java API for XML Registries API [JAXR].

Also included are implementation of two profiles [PROF] of ebXML Registry:

-ebXML Registry Profile for WSDL
-ebXML Registry Profile for WSRP Remote Portlets

[Ann] freebXML Registry successfully tested with Oracle 10g

The freebXML Registry server has successfully been tested in a deployment that uses Oracle 10g database. Kudos to Alexi Polenur for his tireless efforts to get us to this milestone.

Until recently, use of Oracle database with freebXML Registry required applying several manual workarounds to limitations within the database.

With recent changes we can now run freebXML Registry with Oracle database without any workarounds. For details on how to use Oracle with freebXML Registry see:

http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Deploy/database/Oracle

This work culminated today with Alexi's final and successful testing of freebXML Registry on Oracle 10g.

As always we look forward to community feedback on the ebxmlrr-tech mailing list:

[Ann] freebXML Registry version 3.0-beta1 release

The freebXML Registry team (formerly ebxmlrr team) is pleased to
announce the release of version 3.0-beta1 of our royalty-free
open source implementation of the ebXML Registry standard.

The new version provides a near, feature complete implementation of
Registry Full conformance profile for the OASIS ebXML Registry 3.0 [4]
standard. The only missing feature is support for Single Sign On (SSO)
based on the Registry SAML Profile. This implementation therefor
currently only claims conformance to the Registry Lite profile for the
OASIS ebXML Registry 3.0 standard.

The freebXML Registry also provides a feature complete implementation of
level 1 conformance profile of the Java API for XML Registries (JAXR)
API [7], as well as a new Web based thin client user interface to the
registry and an administration tool command line interface (CLI).

Also included are implementation of two profiles of ebXML Registry, the
WEB Services (WS) Profile [11] and the WSRP Remote Portlets Profile [9].
The WS and WSRP Profiles are based on working drafts and are therefor
experimental and subject to change in future release. The freebXML
Registry project welcomes proposals for prototyping additional profiles
of ebXML Registry. Please post proposal for new profiles to the
ebxmlrr-tech mailing list.

Known Issues
------------

-Support for Single Sign On (SSO) based on the Registry SAML Profile is
not yet implemented.

-The distribution includes a build.properties file in root directory
that should not have been included. You should either remove it manually
and start with a fresh copy from build.properties.template
or fix it to match your environment for the following properties:

catalina.home
localCall
proxyHost
proxyPort

-start.tomcat and stop.tomcat targets will not work in Windows
environment. Manually start/stop Tomcat using the startup and shutdown
scripts provided with that distribution under <catalina.home>/bin directory.

-target test.unit.deploy will fail unless you extract the ebxmlrr-spec
module from cvs to a sibling directory of omar. Either don't use this
target and ignore the content cataloging/validation test failures or
get the module from cvs:
cd path-to/omar-3.0-beta1-src
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ebxmlrr co
-P ebxmlrr-spec

-JDK1.4.2 + JWSDP1.6 users:
* uncomment build.lib.endorsed in build.properties.
* remove xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar from tomcat/common/endorsed.
Copy there jars from ${jwsdp.home}/jaxp/lib and
${jwsdp.home}/jaxp/lib/endorsed.

-JWSDP1.6 and Windows: Fix for wscompile.bat: the command line args are
put in a variable one by one and shifted until there are no more of
them. Unfortunately, when the features are passed to as one single
argument (-features:wsi,explicitcontext,nodatabinding), command prompt
interprets the comma as well as whitespace as an argument separator.
This happens only when shifting through arguments. The solution is to
not shift the arguments but pass them directly to ant. Scroll to the
bottom of wscompile.bat and replace the argument collection with the
following:

rem Get command line arguments and save them
set CMD_LINE_ARGS=
:setArgs
set CMD_LINE_ARGS=%*
:doneSetArgs

Reporting Bugs and Requests For Enhancements (RFEs)

-All messages should be posted to ebxmlrr-tech alias after registering
with the list:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ebxmlrr-tech
