The Center for E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), The
University of Hong Kong (HKU) is pleased to announce the launch of
Hermes Messaging Gateway v2.0 (H2O) community website to enhance support
services to users. Despite that it has just been released for two months,
H2O is already downloaded and adopted by developers and users from over
forty (40) economies around the world. Overwhelming responses and
valuable feedback are received daily via the mailing list. To enhance
support to H2O users, a community website has been launched with useful
information and articles ranging from technical issues to general usage
of H2O in different platforms. A discussion forum is also being set up
to facilitate users to share and exchange everything related to H2O. A
first version was released in June 2002. Hermes has since become a
popular award-winning open source solution for organizations to exchange
information in ebXML Messaging (ebMS) or Applicability Specification 2
(AS2) formats with their business partners. The latest version, H2O
(H-two-oh), replaces two predecessors (H2CE and H2EE) with additional
tools and a full set of documentation to make configuration and
administration even more easily. H2O and its source code are released
under GNU General Public License Version 2. H2O operates as a Java web
application The ebMS and AS2 messaging capabilities are operated by the
corresp0nding plug-in, written according to the H20 SPA specification.
The messaging operation requires a database with JDBC connectivity in
keeping track of the messaging status H2O has open endpoints, and the
enterprise backend applications can invoke H20's Web Services for
message delivery. The message delivery can be secured by using SSL or
e-certificates, which conforms the public standards.
