eDelivery DomiSMP version 5.0 Release Candidate published

A new version of the Service Metadata Publisher DomiSMP 5.0 RC is available to use. DomiSMP enables the process of dynamic discovery of service metadata information by storing, exchanging and performing lookups of the service metadata (e.g., the URL, certificate and capabilities) of participants in an eDelivery messaging infrastructure.

DomiSMP 5.0 RC has got a new UI look and feel and role management is now flexible. Important new features are multi-document type support (SMP 1.0, SMP 2.0, CPPA 3.0/CPP) and support for SpringBoot and OpenJDK 11. Further, this version supports different security algorithms, it includes more flexible management of Access Point administrators by DomiSMP administrator via multiple management layers and it enables the possibility to restrict access to Access Point metadata only to authorized users.

The Release Candidate for DomiSMP 5.0 is already available on our website and the Final Release will be available soon. The support for the previous version SMP 4.2 will end on 31st October 2023 therefore users are encouraged to upgrade to the new version DomiSMP 5.0 RC.

Keen followers of eDelivery may have noticed that we have updated our branding with the aim to distinguish the eDelivery SMP and SML sample software product from the description of their function. We have named them DomiSMP and DomiSML respectively, in line with our other sample product, Domibus. The change to the product names will be implemented on the Website over time.

The eDelivery Building Block   

eDelivery is a building block that provides technical specifications and standards, installable software and ancillary services to allow projects to create a network of nodes for secure digital data exchange.   

Domibus is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery AS4 Access Point for the interoperable, secure and reliable data exchange. It is based on the eDelivery AS4 profile, an open technical specification for the secure, web-based, payload-agnostic exchange of data or documents.   

DomiSMP is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Publisher for publishing and retrieving data necessary for an eDelivery party to dynamically configure its system for message exchange with counterparties using eDelivery. It is based on the  eDelivery SMP profile, an open technical specification for publishing service metadata within a 4-corner network.   

DomiSMLis the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Locator for an eDelivery party to discover the URLs of other counterparties using eDelivery Access Points and their corresponding metadata. It is based on the eDelivery BDXL profile, an open technical specification for locating Access Points within a network, and on the PEPPOL SML Specification, a technical specification defining a BDXL administration API.
