[ebxml-dev] Open Source JAXR provider for ebXML Registry released

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM>]

The ebxmlrr project is
pleased to announce the general availability of a developer download of
its client package named ebxmlrr-client. The ebxmlrr-client package provides
an implementation of the JAXR
API that is compatible with the OASIS ebXML Registry V2.x (version
2.0 and 2.1) standard.

The JAXR API defines a standard Java  API that enables Java clients to access diverse XML registries with ease and simplicity.

The ebxmlrr-client provides an implementation of the JAXR API suitable for accessing any ebXML V2.x registry. The ebxmlrr-client package also includes a Registry Browser application that can graphically browse any OASIS ebXML V2.x registry.

Recently the ebxmlrr project also released its server package (named ebxmlrr-server), which provides a feature complete ebXML 2.1 Registry implementation.

The ebxmlrr-client package complements the ebxmlrr-server package by enabling developers to write Java applications that are clients to any ebXML V2.x registry.

The release is available in both source and binary form under an Apache style open source license. The license permits royalty free use, modification and redistribution of the source and binaries.
