Jiplet 0.0.8b released - A JAIN-SIP/nist.gov-based open source project

        The Jiplet Container goes Beta!

July 15, 2006,
Raleigh, NC.

We are pleased to announce the public release of Jiplet Container 
r0.0.8b. We have graduated this release to be a Beta release. It means 
that we think the release is stable enough to be used in a development 
environment. We will do further system-level testing and load testing 
before we declare the release as a production-grade release.
 
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 authorization, 
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 software has been tested with Jboss 4.0.4.
   2. The thread pool framework has been refactored to be more efficient
      and be more tolerant to higher SIP message load.
   3. The reference application has been modified to work with
      additional and newer versions of SIP phones from various vendors.
   4. The Jiplet Console (system administration use interface)  now uses
      a secure connection for higher security.
   5. A number of other bugs have been fixed.
