[ebxmlms-general] Architectural question about Hermes

[Lucia M. <lme...@cs...>]

Hi,
   I'm a newbie of Hermes.
I downloaded "hermes_ebms2_all_in_one_1000.zip" and I tried to install the
MSH.
I have some questions about Hermes architecture that colud be very
silly...

1- LoopBack is a client application for Hermes. Is it only for test
installation or can I use it as my client application? I mean, have I to
develop a new client application to exchamnge messages with another Hermes
MSH ?

2- RunMonitor start only a GUI for sending messages (based on LoopBack) or
is an Hermes client application? and can be used aside from LoopBack?

3- If two persons dislocated in different positions want exchange
messages, both have to own a client application and the MSH servlet ?? 

4- When a message is sent or received where can i read the message and
it's attachment? 
In the "Send History", "Receive History", and "Error History" Monitor
tables, I can see only information about the Envelope of the ebXML
message.

5- If I send a message to myself it's all good. But Tomcat stdout.log
contains 2 WARN about Database. I use PostrgreSQL. This is the log:

David,

Thank you very much for the prompt response.  I'll try out the code this
morning and let you know if I have any problems.

Re: [ebxmlms-general] Import and enforce CPA on a server?

[David W. \(XML\) <da...@dr...>]

Bryan,

There is some basic checking in Hermes of CPA.  It uses
a SQL table to load values from the CPA to check.

However - for the XML2004 Interop - we enhanced the
base Hermes code to include full CPA driven validation.

This includes integration with jCAM to check business
content rules, and also ability to retrieve the CPA itself
from an ebXML registry.  And also HTML forms
to create a CPA using Javascript and post the XML
across to a servlet that stores it into registry.

All this working source code and implementation notes
can be downloaded from :-

 http://ebxmlbook.com/interop

This code has been contributed to the FreebXML project,
but as yet all these extensions have not been incorporated into
the full base release - just a question of priorities and resources
to be able to do that (usual issues!).

Enjoy, DW

Subject: [ebxmlms-general] Import and enforce CPA on a server?


I have installed and tested Hermes on a server on which I hope to
receive messages asynchronously.  In order to do this I need to be able
to enforce a CPA my trading partner has sent.  How do I import this into
the server or configure it to enforce it?  According to your website
this shouldn't be hard:

"In addition to secure and reliable messaging functions, Hermes supports
the concept of 'quality of service' by respecting in-force agreements
between itself and any other ebMS-compliant MSH with which it
communicates. These agreements are expressed as CPA."

But I don't see anything in the documentation that shows me how to do
this.

Any help is appreciated.

Antwort: [ebxmlms-general] client authentication between 2 partners

[<Chr...@ml...>]

Hi,

> - when I send from partner A to partner B, I get the error "Received
> fatal alert: bad_certificate during SSLHandshake"

once I had similar problems with access to a server with a self certified
server key:

the certificate of parner B (or more precisely: of the CA that certified
partner B) is not included in the cacerts file of partner A's Java
environment.

If a browser connects to a server, where the certficate of the CA is not
kwown, the user is asked how to proceed. In the case of connecting from
tomcat, the certificate is required.

If your partner B server's key is self certified, just include it into the
cacerts file of partner A (.../jre/lib/security/cacerts).

[ebxmlms-general] 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.

[ebxmlms-general] Hermes 1.0 and ebMail 1.2 Released and Used by HKSAR Government's New Project

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

***************************************************************
Hermes 1.0 and ebMail 1.2 Released and Used by HKSAR Government
***************************************************************

Hong Kong SAR, Peoples Republic of China - January 28, 2005 - Center for
E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), The University of Hong Kong
(HKU) is pleased to announce that a new version of our two open source ebXML
software, Hermes and ebMail have been released to the ebXML community,
www.freebXML.org. The new releases are already being used by the HKSAR
Government in one of its joined-up service projects.

In the latest version of Hermes, Hermes 1.0, one new feature is a
customizable digital certificate resolver, in which the persistence handler
can customize the implementation for Hermes to save the message content. In
addition, Hermes 1.0 has improved its SSL (Secure Socket Layer) support to
make configuration simpler and more flexible. ebMail 1.2, the new version,
supports multiple party IDs handling in ebXML message by adding a
customizable message dispatching mechanism.

This latest version of Hermes has been adopted by the e-Government
Infrastructure Service (EGIS) project to provide secure and reliable
connectivity between the HKSAR Government and the business community. Under
the Hong Kong Digital 21 Strategy, EGIS is established as an
open-standards-based, scalable and flexible service delivery platform for
Government-to-Citizen (G2C) and Government-to-Business (G2B) transactions.
The purpose is to achieve service integration and transformation towards
citizen-centric service delivery with seamless information flow among
participating service providers. Business partners who need to connect to
EGIS may use the open-source ebMail 1.2 or Hermes 1.0 to exchange electronic
documents with B/Ds.

About Hermes (www.cecid.hku.hk/hermes.php)
Hermes is a Business-to-Business (B2B) Messaging Server which provides a
standardized, reliable and secure infrastructure for enterprises to exchange
business data on the Internet. Developers from 80+ economies have downloaded
Hermes' source code. Hermes has many successful use cases, most of which are
innovative, cost-effective applications used by enterprises for exchange of
business documents such as POs and invoices. Some local users of Hermes
include MTRC, OOCL, Sony, HMV, bigboXX.com and HKSAR Government's Marine
Department. Besides accreditation by the ebXML Asia Committee with Level 2
and 3 ebXML Asia Interoperability Certificates, Hermes has won Certificates
of Merit (Product Category) at the 6th HK Computer Society IT Excellence
Awards and the Asia-Pacific ICT Awards 2004 (R&D Category).

About ebMail (www.cecid.hku.hk/ebmail.php)
ebMail is a desktop e-mail client which helps organizations,
small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SME) in particular, to engage in B2B
e-commerce activities. This lightweight toolkit enables trading partners to
exchange business documents cost-effectively through email, or ebXML Message
Service (ebMS) over Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). ebMail is a
trimmed-down ebMS handler which does not require any application server
software and dedicated Internet connection to use ebXML. It allows a user to
compose electronic documents offline through graphical user interface (GUI),
and send and receive documents when the user is connected to the Internet.
Some users of ebMail include HKSAR Government's Department of Health, Hong
Kong Observatory and Dagang Net of Malaysia.

Hermes and ebMail are professionally supported by CECID. Different support
packages covering installation, connectivity, integration, enhancement and
plug-ins development are available to cater to different needs. Visit

[ebxmlms-general] client authentication between 2 partners

[Morin F. <fm...@ax...>]

Hi all,

Has anyone successfully used client authentication between two partners =
?

I don't know how to configure tomcat to work with that... I tried with =
tomcat 4.1 and tomcat 5.5, and the same problem always occurs :

- when I send from partner A to partner B, I get the error "Received =
fatal alert: bad_certificate during SSLHandshake"
- when I send from partner B to partner A, I get the error "Connection =
Reset"

I've followed the instructions provided at =
http://www.mail-archive.com/tom...@ja.../msg116658.html=
 and client authentication works well in a web browser (when I connect =
to any of the two tomcat), but I can't enable it between two tomcats.

Any idea ?

Ed,

We've used Tomcat 5.1 OK.

Someone posted a note on the connection URL on 5.1 requiring a "/" on

Not sure about Java 1.5 - not tried that yet.

I guess if you really need 1.5 for some of its new features - then you can
try it....

No luck in the "Help - Forum" so I will try the general list...

Our problem is that the msh has to many open connections to the database.

In the msh.properties.xml file we are using the following properties for the
database connections: 
 
[...] 
<InitialConnections>3</InitialConnections> 
<MaximumConnections>15</MaximumConnections> 
[...] 
 
still the msh_user has from about 50 up to 200 open connections to the
database. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

We are using the following stuff:

j2sdk1.4.2
jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29-LE-jdk14 (running on Solaris 9 Generic)
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver (classes12.jar)
Oracle9i 9.2.0.1.0-64bit database

Any help is much appreciated :-)

Best regards

Magnus Anvin

Ronald,

BTW - as a supplemental to Patrick's reply - notice that the data 
handler in Hermes can be
purposed to onward route complete interactions - but the CPA would need 
to identify the
downstream delvery address....

Re: [ebxmlms-general] Multi-hop - Distributed routing of messages

[Patrick Y. <kc...@ce...>]

Ronald,
In the diagram, we mean that Elf, i.e. the "hardware device" version of 
hermes, can be connected to another instance of Elf at the other side of 
the Internet. Or, Elf can be connected to an ebMS message gateway at the 
other side. The ebMS message gateway may be Hermes, or any other ebMS 
compliant server. The ebMS server may then route the messages to 
different clients, but in this case, the routing is not using ebMS 
protocol, and so no multi-hop functionality on ebMS is expected. Hope 
this clarifies the diagram.
Regards, -Patrick

[ebxmlms-general] Hermes MSH and ebMail Professional Support by CECID

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

******************************************************************

CECID Provides Professional Support Services for Hermes and ebMail

****************************************************************** 

 

Hong Kong SAR, Peoples Republic of China - December 16, 2004 - Center for
E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), University of Hong Kong
(HKU), the core developer of Hermes and ebMail, announced that it will
provide support and training services for these two open-source ebXML
software. Since their release to FreebXML.org (http://www.freebxml.org),
Hermes and ebMail have been downloaded by developers from over 80 economies,
and many installations have been successfully deployed in production in
public and private sectors. From time to time, CECID has received requests
for technical support on installation and enhancements as well as training
services. 

 

Besides the present channels of the active mailing lists, technical
professionals of end-user organizations can now also contact CECID directly
when they need help with deployment of Hermes or ebMail. OEM/ISVs who need
assistance with incorporation of these open-source software into their
products can readily access CECID developers of Hermes and ebMail. Different
support packages covering installation, connectivity, integration,
enhancement and plug-ins development are available to cater to different
needs. Visit http://www.cecid.hku.hk/open-source/ to learn more about the
support.

 

Hermes is an electronic document exchanging server based on an open
e-business messaging standard (OASIS ebXML Messaging Service v.2.0). It
provides a standardized, reliable, and secure infrastructure for enterprises
to exchange business data traditionally provided by EDI (electronic data
interchange) but on the Internet and at a low cost affordable by small and
medium enterprises. Awards won by Hermes include Merit of Certificate of the
6th HK Computer Society IT Excellence Awards 2004 and Merit of Certificate
of the Asia-Pacific Information and Communications Technology Awards (APICTA
2004). Certified by the ebXML Asia Committee for its interoperability,
Hermes is donated to the ebXML development community, FreebXML.org and
released under the Academic Free License.

 

ebMail is a desktop e-mail client which helps organizations,
small-and-medium-sized  enterprises (SME) in particular, to engage in B2B
e-commerce activities. This lightweight toolkit enables trading partners to
exchange business documents cost-effectively through email, or ebXML Message
Service (ebMS) over Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). ebMail is a
trimmed-down ebMS handler which does not require any application server
software and dedicated Internet connection to use ebXML. It allows a user to
compose electronic documents offline through graphical user interface (GUI),
and send and receive documents when the user is connected to the Internet.
ebMail is available also at FreebXML.org and released under the Academic
Free License.

RE: [ebxmlms-general] "Missing start boundary" exception when processing lot of message

I updated javamail to the last version (1.3.2) but I always had the same
problem...
I'll try your suggestion to see what happen.

Thanks.

processing lot of message


I've seen this in three circumstances (not in hermes, but with jaxm)
- once in a system under load where there was a threadsafety issue and
one
receiver started reading data after the headers were already read.
- once where there was a wrong mail.jar which produced wrong headers,
but
that happened all the time, not specifically under load
- an text/xml response was produced, but not multipart mime as expected.

Otherwise I have no idea where it could come from. Can you turn on some
low
level debugging on http level?

Re: [ebxmlms-general] Multi-hop - Distributed routing of messages

[Ronald v. K. <rtv...@xs...>]

David,

Hermes does not support multi-hop delivery. I'd like to have it to. That's what you get if it is
optional in the specs. I've looked at it once, but it is not real simple to implement.

What I do want to is a kind of postoffice funcionality. Not all our clients are always online and
some don't even accept incomming connections, so we'd like to have a http based minimal imap
system (which we currently have, but our system is not yet based on hermes). Why http? that
integrates better with an appserver.

[ebxmlms-general] Multi-hop - Distributed routing of messages

[David RR W. <da...@dr...>]

The ebXML specification supports multi-hop delivery.

E.g. Server A sends to Server B that routes and=20
delivers to Server C.

Has anyone tried this with Hermes, and if so - what are
the elements in the ebXML message header / Hermes
control tables - that enable this behaviour?

Thanks, DW
