CEF eDelivery: Final release of Domibus 4.1 is out now!


The European Commission is happy to announce the release of the production-ready Domibus version 4.1 AS4 sample implementation software. Domibus 4.1 was released on the 31 July 2019.

The eDelivery Building Block of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) promotes the use of the AS4 messaging protocol to create a secure channel for the transmission of documents and data by electronic means, over the internet or via a private network.

The CEF eDelivery solution is based on a distributed model called the “4-corner model”. In this model, the back-end systems of the users don’t exchange data directly with each other but do this through Access Points. These Access Points are conformant to the same technical specifications and therefore capable of communicating with each other. Domibus is the Open Source sample software of the AS4 Access Point, maintained by the European Commission.

The Domibus 4.1 includes a number of new features, improvements and bug fixes, including:

  • EU Login Support
  • DSS (CEF eSignature) library integration
  • Possibility to change the log configuration at runtime
  • Password Management for Plugin Users
  • Lock/Unlock functionality for Plugin Users and corresponding alert generation
  • Added statistics page
  • Improved the performance of the File System plugin
  • Support for WebLogic 12.2.x
  • Harmonisation of the context path across the supported servers
  • Support of Large files

Domibus 4.1 is backwards compatible with 4.0.x and the upgrade is not mandatory. 

CEF supports digital infrastructure in the form of the Building Blocks. They contribute to improvements in the daily lives of Europeans through digital inclusion, the connectivity and interoperability of European digital services, and the development of a Digital Single Market.
