[ebxmlms-develop] Web admin and other contributions?

[Ronald v. K. <rv...@ab...>]

Hi all,

It has been discussed before on this list, but I'd like to discuss it a 
little again. There are some things, especially sending messages to 
Hermes, that are really integrated with the servlet front-end. A request 
object is used alot in places where imho a more abstract approach could 
be used. The reason I ask this is we are now working on realy 
integrating Hermes in an open source  BPM/WFM/B2B/EAI solution. Sending 
messages from within the same appserver via a http connection seems to 
me not the right way to go. The same is true for configuring Hermes, it 
can currently only be done via the standalone client via http.

A long time ago I changed some things in my local version of hermes, so 
sending messages could also take place in a more direct manner, either 
by calling a certain class or using a jms queue. I even made it 
configurable, so it is not required to have JMS installed for 
using/compiling it in just a servlet engine.  for configuring the server 
I made a small web interface that allows you to configure currently 40% 
of the things.

Are the project owners interested in these changes and willing to accept 
a temporary decrease in stability in exchange for flexibility of the 
application? We could first discuss the changes, since I'm willing to 
adapt it to everybodies liking.

Kind regards,

Ronald
