CEF eDelivery: Domibus 3.3 FR - Available Now

European Commission, 2017

Today, 6 October 2017, the European Commission is delighted to announce the final release of the Domibus 3.3 AS4 sample implementation software, following the successful release of the Domibus 3.3 Release Candidate on 7 August 2017.

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.

The Domibus 3.3 final release has been achieved only by close collaboration between different EU policy projects' IT delivery teams and CEF eDelivery.

Highlights of the final release include:

  • Important performance enhancements and memory consumption enhancement
  • Possibility to manage the Admin Console users
  • New Domibus plugin: File System Plugin
  • Domibus configuration with a single properties file 
  • New Administration console
  • Improved logging
  • Implement new API to monitor the status of the messages
  • Implement new API to log the acknowledgements from C3 to C4
  • eDelivery Access Point to support pull MEP
  • Custom truststore for SSL communication
  • Possibility to download the PMode configuration file
  • Add message DOWNLOADED status to API and MSH
  • Configurable HTTP chunking
  • Configure the deletion of Message from Sending Access point when the message status is SEND_FAILURE


In addition, on 24 October 2017, from 10:00 - 11:30 (CET), the European Commission is organising an interactive, live webinar on Domibus 3.3.

Those interested in adopting CEF eDelivery in their organisation are warmly invited to attend.
