ANN: Habari XB Client 1.0alpha1 released - for the xmlBlaster Message Broker

April 30, 2008 - betasoft, independent software developer for CodeGear(tm) Delphi and for the Java(tm) platform, is pleased to announce release 1.0alpha1 of its client library Habari XB for the xmlBlaster Open Source MOM (message-oriented middleware). With this component and xmlBlaster, it is possible to exchange data between clients written in Delphi, PHP, Perl, Python, C, C++, C#, Visual Basic.net, Flash, J2ME, Java (applications, servlets, applets).

Features
* Publish and subscribe messages
* Messages are asynchronous accessed with the subscribe() method
* Clients receive asynchronous messages with the update() method
* Synchronous message access with the get() method
* Subscribers can use XPath expressions to filter the messages they wish to receive

Important Changes
* Habari XB now uses the xmlBlaster socket protocol (no dependencies on 3rd party XMLRPC libraries)
* the XDOM-based XML parser has been replaced by Delphi's TXMLDocument

About xmlBlaster: xmlBlaster is a publish/subscribe and point to point 100% Java based MOM server (message-oriented middleware) which exchanges messages between publishers and subscribers. The message is described with XML-encoded meta information. Messages may contain everything, GIF images, Java objects, Python scripts, XML data, a word document, plain text - just anything. Communication with the server is based on socket, CORBA (using JacORB), RMI, XmlRpc, HTTP or email, clients are free to choose their preferred protocol. Other protocols like SOAP may be plugged in. The installation of the xmlBlaster message broker takes just one minute. The xmlBlaster server is pure Java and under LGPL. Read more: http://www.xmlblaster.org/whatis.html
