CEF eDelivery: Domibus 3.3 RC1 Out Now!

European Commission, 2017


The European Commission is happy to announce the first release candidate Domibus 3.3 RC1 sample implementation of the eDelivery Access Point.

The CEF eDelivery Building Block helps users to exchange electronic data and documents with one another in a reliable and trusted way.

CEF eDelivery 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. As a result of this, users adopting CEF eDelivery can easily and safely exchange data even if their IT systems were developed independently from each other.

As with previous releases, the Domibus 3.3 RC1 sample implementation of the eDelivery Access Point has been achieved only by close collaboration between different EU policy projects' IT delivery teams and CEF eDelivery.

The Domibus 3.3 RC1 new release includes:

  • New user interface for the administration console
  • Dynamic discovery client embedded, compatible with both the OASIS and PEPPOL SMP specifications
  • Support for Pull Message Exchange Pattern
  • Better backend integration with new external APIs available for message acknowledgements and monitoring
  • Multiple improvements (performances, transaction management, logging, configuration)

In addition, since the latest stable Domibus release, extensive debugging and issue-solving has taken place.

N.B: this is still a release candidate, not to be used in a production environment. To ensure the strongest sample implementation possible, this version is still being improved.

Users can provide feedback until end of August by contacting the CEF eDelivery support or submitting change requests through the eDelivery governance space

Following the acceptance period, the European Commission will release the final production-ready Domibus 3.3, currently foreseen on 22 September 2017.
