19 March 2009 - Apache CXF 2.2 released

2009-03-19T19:19:42+00:00

The Apache CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.2 release.

Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI. CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily focused on the following
areas:

* Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of web service standards including SOAP, the WSI Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Security.

* REST based service creation based on JAX-RS standard API's.

* Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF provides a JAX-WS 2.1 Compliant frontend. It also includes a "simple frontend"which allows creation of clients and endpoints without annotations. CXF supports both contract first development with WSDL and code first development starting from Java.

* Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There are simple APIs to quickly build code-first services, Maven plug-ins to make tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support, Spring 2.0 XML support to make configuration a snap, and much more.

What's new in CXF 2.2:
* WS-SecurityPolicy support
* WS-SecureConversation
* Some WS-Trust support (client side)
* JAX-RS 1.0 (not TCK compliant yet)
* MANY MANY bugfixes, performance enhancements, etc... Too numerous to list individually.

As always, we welcome feedback on our mailing lists:
http://cxf.apache.org/mailing-lists.html

Downloads are available from:

18 March 2009 - Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.1.0 Released

2009-03-18T10:11:21+00:00

The Apache ServiceMix Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.1.0.

Apache ServiceMix Kernel is a small OSGi based runtime which provides a
lightweight container onto which various components and applications can
be deployed.
* Hot deployment: ServiceMix Kernel supports hot deployment of OSGi
bundles by monitoring jar files inside the [home]/deploy directory.
Each time a jar is copied in this folder, it will be installed
inside the runtime. You can then update or delete it and changes
will be handled automatically. In addition, the Kernel also supports
exploded bundles and custom deployers (a spring one is included by
default).
* Dynamic configuration: Services are usually configured through the
ConfigurationAdmin OSGi service. Such configuration can be defined
in ServiceMix Kernel using property files inside the [home]/etc
directory. These configurations are monitored and changes on the
properties files will be propagated to the services.
* Logging System: using a centralized logging back end supported by
Log4J, ServiceMix Kernel supports a number of different APIs (JDK 1.4,
JCL, SLF4J, Avalon, Tomcat, OSGi)
* Provisioning: Provisioning of libraries or applications can be done
through a number of different ways, by which they will be downloaded
locally, installed and started.
* Native OS integration: ServiceMix Kernel can be integrated into your
own Operating System as a service so that the lifecycle will be bound
to your Operating System.
* Extensible Shell console: ServiceMix features a nice text console where
you can manage the services, install new applications or libraries and
manage their state. This shell is easily extensible by deploying new
commands dynamically along with new features or applications.
* Remote access: use any SSH client to connect to the kernel and issue
commands in the console
* Security framework based on JAAS
* Managing instances: ServiceMix Kernel provides simple commands for
managing instances of ServiceMix Kernel. You can easily create, delete,
start and stop instances of ServiceMix Kernel through the console.

The Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.1.0 release brings a lot of new features
enhancements and bug fixes:
* remote connection using SSH protocol
* provisioning enhancements: versioning / hot deployment of features
* new commands, including OSGi related commands for the Configuration
Admin and Package Admin services
* improved spring integration: upgrade to spring 2.5.6 and spring-dm
1.2.0-m2, the osgi/list command now displays spring applications status
* container level locking for master / slave deployments
* support for JAXP 1.4 on all platforms
* improved JMX support for managing the OSGi framework and features

Note that the commands syntax has changed due to the upgrade to the
latest gshell version.

This release, with the detailed release notes, is available at:
http://servicemix.apache.org/kernel/servicemix-kernel-110.html

2009-03-10T05:31:03+00:00

Apache Mime4J is a flexible MIME parsing library written in Java. SAX, DOM and pull parsing styles are supported.

The 0.6 release brings another round of API enhancements and performance optimizations. There has been a number of notable improvements in the DOM support. MIME stream parser is expected to be 50% faster when line counting is disabled. Please also note that as of this release Mime4j requires a Java 1.5 compatible runtime

Detailed change log can be found here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310521&styleName=Html&version=12313434

Notes ----- * Mime4j API is still considered unstable and is likely to change in future releases * DOM support has known limitations and some roundtrip issues remain to be resolved * Some low level functions are available only in the pull parser (recommended for advanced users)

26 February 2009 - Apache HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0 (GA) Released

2009-02-27T01:52:42+00:00

The Apache HttpComponents project is pleased to announce the release of HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0. This the first stable (GA) release in the 4.x code line. This release delivers complete API documentation and fixes a few minor bugs reported since the previous release. Download Release notes HttpComponents site Tutorial Examples About HttpComponents Core - HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be used to build custom client and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O models: blocking I/O model based on the classic Java I/O and non-blocking, event driven I/O model based on Java NIO. The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive, low latency scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more appropriate for high latency scenarios where raw data throughput is less important than the ability to handle thousands of simultaneous HTTP connections in a resource efficient manner. ]]> [ Category : Apache HttpComponents ]

22 February 2009 - Apache Click 2.0.1-incubating now available

2009-02-22T13:12:47+00:00

The Apache Click team is pleased to announce its first release from the Apache incubator. Apache Click is a modern page and component oriented web framework and provides a natural rich client style programming model that is very easy to learn and use. This release is based upon the pre-Apache 1.5.1 code base with the major difference that 2.0.1 uses "org.apache.click" packages. Both 1.5.1 and 2.0.1 are considered stable and only bug fixes will be applied to these branches. New development will happen on 2.1.0, the next major version of Click. You can visit the Click home page here: http://incubator.apache.org/click/ Version 2.0.1 can be downloaded from the following page: http://incubator.apache.org/click/docs/downloads.html For full details about the release please see our changelog: http://incubator.apache.org/click/docs/roadmap-changes.html Enjoy. -- The Apache Click team --- Apache Click is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. ]]> [ Category : Apache Incubator ]
