SML 4.2.RC1

This page collects the resources for Service Metadata Locator (SML) version 4.2 RC1, released in September 2022.

Description

The Directorate-General for Informatics (DIGIT) is happy to announce the upgrade of the BDMSL, the sample implementation of the SML software in order to fully support the eDelivery SML specification. In version 4.2.x, as in version 4.1.x the BDMSL will also provide support for the eDelivery BDXL profile, as well as the PEPPOL SML specification. As the PEPPOL SML specification continues to be supported, current users of the BDMSL software shouldn't suffer of any disruption of service.

BDMSL 4.2.RC1 includes the following bug fix:

• Enhancement of the certificate trust validation using the certificate policy validation.

• The new report for detecting the SMP instances with expired certificates.

• New web service for checking if the SMP already registers the participant identifier.

• BDMSL now allows to enable creation of the participant identifiers without scheme

• BDMSL now enables to configure, the regular expression for splitting the "urn identifiers" to scheme and id part.

• Add support for Tomcat 9 and MySQL 8 and drop support for the  Tomcat 8 and MySQL 5.7

• Add option to startup BDMSL with the spring-boot for demonstration and testing purposes.

• Add limitation of the participants for the domain and for the SMP instance

• Update all dependent libraries to the latest versions

BDMSL 4.2.RC1 implementation of the Peppol specified web-service interface and DNS lookup is backward compatible with version 4.1.1.
