Subject: [Ann] freebXML Registry 3.0-beta1 release
Dear regrep TC colleagues, 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. Latest Release Notes -------------------- The latest release notes are available in CVS tree at: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ebxmlrr/omar/readme.txt?rev=1.12&view=markup They are also in the readme.txt file at the root level once you have downloaded the software. Downloading Software -------------------- Download instructions are available at: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/3.0/SetupGuide.html#DownloadingTheRequiredFiles Release Documentation --------------------- The documentation for the release is available at: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/3.0 A good place to start is the installation and setup guide: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/3.0/SetupGuide.html 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) ---------------------------------------------------- -First see if your problem is already listed in the FAQ at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=627327&group_id=37074&func=browse In particular read the FAQ entry: "How to ask questions effectively about freebXML Registry" http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1192046&group_id=37074&atid=627327 -All messages should be posted to ebxmlrr-tech alias after registering with the list: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ebxmlrr-tech -Make sure you indicate the release (3.0-beta1) -Include detailed steps to reproduce the problem -Include stack trace if any -If you have a bug fix patch please follow instructions at: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/3.0/PatchSubmissionGuide.html Thank you for using the freebXML Registry.
