Jiplet Container r0.0.6a released - Enhancements Made to the SIP Proxy Functionality

February 19, 2006,
Raleigh, NC.

We are pleased to announce the public release of Jiplet Container 
r0.0.6a. 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.

   1. The jiplet container now works with JBOSS 4.0.2 instead of JBOSS
      4.0.0.
   2. Enhanced the SIP proxy functionality to include cancelling of
      proxy requests as well as other enhancements.
   3. Changed the packaging structure of the Jiplet Console and the
      reference application packages.
   4. Many bugs were fixed and the code underwent significant refactoring.
