[mddi-dev] [MDDI] ModelBus V1 release

["Andrey SADOVYKH" <andrey.sadovykh@xxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

On behalf of LIP6, I?m glad to announce the release of the ModelBus V1.
The release contains ModelBus Java adapter and a toolkit for tool
description editing and stub generation.

New in this release:
* Architecture was restructured in order to clearly separate user API and
ModelBus infrastructure.
* Transport service was redesigned
* Server deployment flexibility possibility to deploy ModelBus to custom
servers.
* EndPoint management, possibility to reuse ModelBus transport for
non-modelbus services (see notification and BasicRegistry)
* Marhaling, possibility to plug custom marshalers and in this way customize
ModelBus protocol (see sessions).
* Serialization, possibility to redefine and plug custom serializers *
ToolSelection Strategy, possibility to redefine and plug custom
ToolSelection strategies

* UML2 Profiles support, possibility to exchange UML2 Models with Profiles
* Session support * Tomcat server support

* SimpleWeb server dependency was completely removed.

Limitations
===========
* Serializers operate with Objects to Stings. Stream Interface will come
next
* Tool Selection Strategy interface contains a method to select a Tool
depending service name only. An interface that takes into account call
parameters will come next.
* UML2 Profiles should be loaded on the both communicating sides in order to
allow exchanging of models with profiles.


Best regards,
Andrey
