[xbeans-interest] The Xbeans Communication Pack

[Bruce M. <ma...@xb...>]

The Xbeans Communication Pack is now available for download at
xbeans.org.  The final open-source release of Xbeans 2 is also
available.

The Xbeans Communication Pack greatly expands the set of senders and
receivers included with Xbeans.  The Communication Pack provides senders
and receivers for HTTP, Servlets, RMI, CORBA, EJB and SOAP/Web
Services.  Using the sender and receiver you can easily send XML "over
the wire".  The sender-receivers support GZIP compression, simply by
setting a property on the sender.

A generic sender-receiver is also included.  The generic sender-receiver
makes the communication/distribution mechanism completely transparent to
the rest of your code.  Your code establishes the protocol dynamically
by setting a simple protocol property and the generic sender-receiver
loads the appropriate Xbean.

Thanks to Dion Almaer of The Middleware Company and Mark Shocklee of
Product Data Integration Technologies. Both Dion and Mark contributed
code to the Xbeans Communication Pack.
