Jiplet 0.0.7a released
Support for Java 1.5 added
April 16, 2006,
Raleigh, NC.
We are pleased to announce the public release of Jiplet
Container
r0.0.7a. This is an Alpha release to give users a preview of the
system.
Jiplet is short for Java SIP Servlet. The Jiplet Container is an
open-source container for server-side SIP applications. An application
developer can create a SIP application written in Java using the Jiplet
API and deploy the application in the container. The container provides
a number of framework services including support for SIP message
parsing and formatting, scoped variables, authentication and
authroization, thread-pooling, logging, custom class loading,
management interface, etc. It enables application developer to create
server-side SIP applications using a component-based model similar to
that envisioned by the J2EE architecture. In fact, it fits very well
with the J2EE paradigm for software development and deployment. The
jiplet container software can either be run as a standalone Java
application or deployed as a service residing in a J2EE server. When
running as a J2EE service, the jiplet container can access many of the
features offered by the J2EE server. In addition, The jiplet container
is built with the service provider model in mind. In this model, a
service provider can host customized SIP applications from their
customers in a secure manner similar to the servlet hosting offered by
many service providers.
The following are the highlights of the release.
- The software is now tested with Java 1.5. Note that it is
not backward compatible with Java 1.4 any longer.
- The startup scripts for Windows for the standalone version
can now handle blank spaces in the path names.
- The proxy code has been enhanced to handle the ACK and
CANCEL messages for a stateful proxy.
- Enhancements have been made to the Container Managed
Authentication (CMA) code.
- A small bug relating to the SUBSCRIBE message found in the
NIST JAIN-SIP stack has been fixed and included with this package.
- A number of other bugs has also been fixed.
