**Hermes Celebrates 5th Birthday with New H2O Launch* * 
<http://www.cecid.hku.hk/pressrelease_20070601_H20Launch.php>

Hong Kong SAR, Peoples Republic of China - 1 June 2007 - Center for 
E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), The University of Hong 
Kong (HKU) celebrates Hermes' 5th birthday with the launch of a new open 
source version of Hermes Messaging Gateway v2.0 (H2O). Thanks to project 
funding from the HKSAR Government's Innovation & Technology Commission, 
Hermes is available as free, open source to users and developers of 
business-to-business integration and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

First version released in June 2002, Hermes has since become a popular 
and awards-winning open source solution for organizations to exchange 
information in ebXML Messaging (ebMS) or Applicability Specification 2 
(AS2) formats with their business partners. Developers and users from 
over 80 economies around the world have downloaded and adopted Hermes. 
The software won the Best Infrastructure and Communication Application 
of the Linux Business Award 2005 as well as Certificates of Merit of the 
Asia-Pacific ICT Awards 2004 and HK Computer Society IT Excellence Award 
2004.

The latest version, H2O (H-two-oh), replaces two predecessors (H2CE and 
H2EE) with additional tools and a full set of documentation to make 
configuration and administration even more easily. It includes an 
installation wizard, web-based GUI admin tool, message status query 
capabilities, and documentation of an installation guide, configuration 
guide, admin tool user guide as well as the plug-in development guide.

H2O and its source code 
(http://community.cecid.hku.hk/index.php/product/download/download_h2o/) 
are released under <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>GNU General 
Public License Version 2 <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>. Users 
and developers can get community support through the mailing list 
cec...@go... <mailto:cec...@go...>. 
Professional support is provided by CECID's VARs and can be requested 
through email en...@ce... <mailto:en...@ce...>.

Completed the AS2 Interoperability Testing AS-1Q05 with 29 other 
participants (http://ebusinessready.org/as2.html) organized by U.S. 
leading testing company, Drummond Group Inc., Hermes 2 enables real-time 
communication through HTTP or HTTPS to transmit data over the Internet. 
Besides, it provides security for the transport payload through Secure 
Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), digital signatures and 
encryption, while reliability and non-repudiation are achieved through 
the use of receipts.

The AS2 standard, commonly used in supply chains by large retailers, 
manufacturers and suppliers, is often regarded as the "EDI over 
Internet" standard. Hermes 2 facilitates large as well as small 
enterprises to exchange EDI or other business-to-business data with 
their partners and customers. It operates as a Java web application. The 
ebXML Messaging Service (ebMS) and AS2 messaging capabilities are 
facilitated by the corresponding plugins, which can be easily developed 
by users through Hermes' Simple Plugin Architecture specification. The 
messaging operation requires a database (PostgreSQL or Oracle 9i or 
above) with JDBC connectivity to keep track of the messaging status.

ebMail can be used to create XML documents. In this part, different XML

I have been playing around with ebMail for the last day or so, and am
confused as to it interfaces with hermes, and whether it can.

Is it possible to use ebMail as a GUI to create XML documents, and then
forward those to Hermes to send?

I realise that ebMail has the ability to send the XML documents via smtp,
but I am curious if its possible to use a MSH as well

[ebmail-develop] Hermes 2 Non-GPL Enterprise Edition Released

[Dorris T. <cw...@ce...>]

*Hermes Messaging Gateway v2.0 Enterprise Edition Available*

Hong Kong SAR, Peoples Republic of China -- March 23, 2006 - Center for 
E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), The University of Hong 
Kong (HKU) and iASPEC Technologies announce the release of Hermes 
Messaging Gateway v2.0 Enterprise Edition (Hermes 2 EE). With the GPL 
community edition released last December, this non-GPL enterprise 
edition comes with additional features including an installation wizard, 
message status query capabilities, and a Web-based administrative tool 
for easy configuration and management of the messaging gateway. Full 
documentation - an installation guide, configuration guide, admin tool 
user guide, plug-in development guide and technical reference of Hermes 
2 -- is bundled with the Enterprise Edition, along with iASPEC's Silver 
Support Service. The whole package helps users to get Hermes up and 
running more quickly and to develop applications efficiently. It also 
frees OEMs and service providers from GPL's requirement of distributing 
their proprietary source code. Hermes 2 EE can be obtained through 
iASPEC Technologies (http://www.iaspec.com/Hermes2.htm).

Completed Drummond Group's AS2 Interoperability Testing AS-1Q05 
(http://ebusinessready.org/as2.html), Hermes 2 enables real-time 
communication through HTTP or HTTPS to transmit data over the Internet. 
Besides, it provides security for the transport payload through Secure 
Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), digital signatures and 
encryption, while reliability and non-repudiation are achieved through 
the use of receipts. It operates as a Java web application. The ebXML 
Messaging Service (ebMS) and AS2 messaging capabilities are facilitated 
by the corresponding plug-ins, which can be easily developed by users 
through Hermes' Simple Plug-in Architecture specification. The messaging 
operation uses a database with JDBC connectivity to keep track of the 
messaging status.

[ebmail-develop] Hermes Integrated by enerbility for European Energy Trading

[Dorris T. <cw...@ce...>]

enerbility Integrated CECID's Hermes for European Energy Trading

HONG KONG / VIENNA, January 13, 2006: The Center for E-Commerce=20
Infrastructure Development (CECID) of the University of Hong Kong (HKU)=20
and enerbility software gmbh of Vienna, Austria, are pleased to announce=20
that the open source ebXML message service handler, Hermes, has been=20
integrated in the electronic confirmation matching system enerbility 2.0.

enerbility 2.0 is the second generation of an ECM-system developed for=20
the over-the-counter trading in the European energy industry. It is in=20
use at major energy trading companies in Europe like E.ON, ATEL,=20
Statkraft and APT.

enerbility focuses on the integration of best-of-breed third-party=20
components into and around its transactional XML exchange and processing=20
technology. To comply with the industry demand for ebXML, enerbility=20
went for Hermes. In the selection process almost all available ebXML=20
products have been evaluated and a selected subset has been tested.

Martin Schimak, the engineer evaluating the products, states: "In our=20
evaluation process, we've considered all relevant aspects to find the=20
best product concerning cost-performance ratio. We chose Hermes and are=20
very satisfied with its stability and performance."

Hannes Stiebitzhofer, CEO of enerbility software gmbh, adds: "The=20
reliability of Hermes - besides its ebXML MS 2.0 compliance as tested by=20
ebXML Asia Committee - is a perfect complement to enerbility, running=20
without any incidents for months."

CECID is happy about Hermes=92 first production use in the European energ=
y=20
trading market. =93This is very encouraging to all of us. enerbility has=20
demonstrated the use of Hermes in a =91raw material=92 supply chain. With=
out=20
the support of our funding agency, the Innovation and Technology=20
Commission of Hong Kong, we couldn=92t have developed Hermes. On the othe=
r=20
hand, today=92s Hermes is also the result of contribution by developers i=
n=20
the open-source community around the world. I=92m very pleased to see=20
Hermes being chosen as the messaging gateway to facilitate the energy=20
sector,=94 says Dr. David Cheung, Director of CECID.

Thomas Lee, CTO of CECID, also responds positively to enerbility=92s=20
decision. =93enerbility is an innovative and fast-moving company. We are=20
proud that Hermes, an open-source project that has been downloaded by=20
80+ economies, is able to meet enerbility=92s stringent requirements for=20

[<di...@ba...>]

Hello!
Thanx for the quick reply.
Our intention is just to put a link for the download of the programme in the private side (the e-business page) of our demo portal , a short explanation of how it works and the instructions for setting it up.
The attached pic is a screenshot of ebMail that I found where I downloaded it, so someone developed the forms in ebMail for the comunication of shipping documents between a port authority and the other shipping subjects, definitely we have the same goal. 
I was just wondering if is available that developed version or a demo of that just to show in the presentation of our project how it works. (references to the developers will be clearly visible - the portal will be offline and accessible just for didactic use)  
So, if someone can help us... anticipately thanx!
Best regards and keep on workig so good - your projects are greet!

Hello! 
I'm a student of the Master in e-Business and e-Government Technologies at the University of Trieste (Italy). 
For a project game we have to develop a portal for a port authority. 
I saw the screenshot of Your ebMail project and I was delighted to see that there is a developed version of ebMail for the comunication of navigation documents (FAL) between a port authority and other shipping subjects.
If available, I'd like to integrate Your system or a demo of that version for the interchange of FAL documents between port-shipping clusters in our portal project. 
I'd like to specificate that our project is for demo-didactic use only. If ther is any chance of collaboration please let me know!

[ebmail-develop] HKSAR Government Collects Infectious Disease Information with XML and Hermes

[Dorris T. <cw...@ce...>]

****************************************************************************
HKSAR Government Collects Infectious Disease Information with XML and Hermes
****************************************************************************

Hong Kong SAR, Peoples Republic of China - April 14, 2005 - Center for
E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), University of Hong Kong (HKU)
is pleased to announce the completion of the Notifiable Infectious Disease
Information Messaging System (NIDIMS) project for Department of Health (DH),
which is the health advisor of the Government of the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region and an executive arm in health legislation and policy.

Rapid transmission of infectious diseases like SARS and meningitis as well
as emerging diseases of Avian Flu pose a tremendous threat to our community.
Special attention must be paid to the surveillance mechanism within HKSAR
and between HKSAR and neighboring regions. As a result, DH invited CECID to
set up a centralized and standardized disease surveillance system based on
XML and ebXML technologies. The project involves designing a set of XML
Schemas according to the W3C XML Schema Recommendation and the XML Schema
Design and Management Guide (under the HKSARG Interoperability Framework).
These resulting Schemas are the underlying architecture for information
exchange on 28 regulatory infectious diseases. Another objective of the
project is to develop a software application, the Notifiable Infectious
Disease Information Messaging System (NIDIMS) that supports reliable and
secure disease surveillance information collection. The messaging framework
is based on ebXML Messaging Service version 2.0 (ebMS v2.0) specification
developed under OASIS. The flagship products of CECID, ebMail and Hermes
(free downloads at http://www.freebxml.org) are deployed in the software for
secure and reliable information exchange. This system not only brings
enormous economic benefit to the Government and Hong Kong in terms of
reducing communication lead time and data entry errors, but also improves
the efficiency and effectiveness in communication between DH and other
healthcare service providers. 

Deliverables of the NIDIMS Project are deployed in Hong Kong Centre for
Health Protection (http://www.chp.gov.hk/) (CHP)'s central notification
office (CNO) online reporting system to help CHP strengthen Hong Kong's
surveillance system and network for infectious diseases. The CHP's vision is
to become a centre of excellence in disease prevention and control with the
focus on epidemiology training, surveillance, risk communication, research,
coordination and preparedness, and contingency planning.

[ebmail-develop] Hermes Deployed in New e-Procurement Project

[Dorris T. <cw...@ce...>]

***********************************************
Hermes Deployed in New MTR e-Procurement Vendor
***********************************************

Hong Kong SAR, Peoples Republic of China - February 4, 2005 - Center for
E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), The University of Hong Kong
(HKU) has completed a new e-procurement project for MTR Corporation, the
operator of Hong Kong's urban metro railway and bigboXX.com, an e-commerce
portal providing a wide range of office supplies and business services to
corporate customers in Hong Kong. The project involves the deployment of our
B2B Connector, at MTR and the deployment of Hermes to bigboXX.com's existing
procurement portal. The e-procurement system is in production after testing
on the business systems at both companies. 

The B2B Connector, which is a stand-alone internet appliance powered by
Hermes, at MTR receives electronic invoices and statements
from bigboXX.com. The benefit of the use of the B2B Connector lies in the
ease of integration with MTR's existing Electronic Goods Receiving System.
With the web-based procurement system, MTR can send their orders to
bigboXX.com online and all the orders are sent directly to the backend
system of bigboXX.com. As soon as the goods are delivered to MTR, an
electronic invoice is sent from bigboXX.com through Hermes to MTR reliably
and securely. When the invoice reaches the B2B Connector in MTR, it is put
into MTR's own intranet application and hence reconciliation can be
automatically performed. Statements from bigboXX.com to MTR are sent on a
monthly basis following the same mechanism.

About MTR Corporation (http://www.mtrcorp.com):
Carrying an average 2.3 million passengers each weekday, the MTR has been
confirmed by recent benchmarking studies as one of the world's finest
railways for reliability, customer service and cost efficiency. Besides
railway operations, the Corporation is also actively involved in the
development of key residential and commercial projects above existing
stations and along new line extensions as well as many other commercial
activities associated with the railway including rental of retail and
advertising space, ATM banking facilities and personal telecommunication
services. It also provides consultancy services to organizations worldwide.

About bigboXX.com (http://www.bigboxx.com):
bigboXX.com is a leading B2B operator supplying a comprehensive range of
office products and services to corporate customers. It is Hong Kong's
largest office supplies provider with over 8,000 product offerings
specializing in stationery, paper, computer, furniture and breakroom items.
In addition to office supplies, bigboXX.com is fully established in other
core disciplines including a Print Center which caters for digital and
offset printing, a Premium Center that sources gift items for promotions and
Records Management to offer secure document storage solutions. bigboXX.com
is an e-commerce operation of Hutchison Whampoa Limited.

the  plugin directory .
Now after putting there how can I check that its working for pdf files or
not.

Kindly help me to solve this problem.
Thanxs and regards


Hello,

When you are writing plugin, you will need to provide a method for 
composing the EbxmlMessage. For example, you can find such method in our 
sample PO plugin: PODocumentData.java, in which you can find a method 
called toMessage(). Here is some fragment of toMessage() method:

Creating a data source of payload by passing in an output stream:

       ByteArrayDataSource dataSource =
           new ByteArrayDataSource(ostream.toByteArray(),
                       "text/xml", "description");

Add the payload to the message:

           ebxmlMessage.addPayloadContainer(new DataHandler(dataSource),
                            "0", "description");


So in your case, you can create PDF payloads and then add them to the 
message one by one. If the payload is not text, you only need to adjust 
the type (replace "text/xml" with "application/pdf").

Hope this helps.

Regards, -Patrick
