Jiplet 0.0.5a released
The Jiplet Container now supports naming operations
November 2, 2005,
Raleigh, NC.
We are pleased to announce the public release of Jiplet
Container
r0.0.5a. 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.
- Improved support for Enteprise Archives (EAR). You can now
load EJBs from a jiplet context located inside an EAR.
- The jiplet container JBOSS service is now a single
deployable "sar" file instead of a "sar" directory. This will make it
easier to install the service in the JBOSS environment.
- Initial support for naming contexts has been added when
running as a JBOSS service.
- Support for external entities sending messages to jiplets
has been added.
- A number of bugs found in the earlier releases have now
been fixed and we have re-organized the packaging.
