Domibus 5.0 released

1_Fotolia_85192898_Subscription_XL.jpg

We are happy to announce that Domibus 5.0 was released. Domibus is the sample implementation of an eDelivery Access Point maintained by the European Commission.

In addition to new features, Domibus 5.0 also comes with a new database schema design that supports unprecedented performance improvements. This new version can reliably handle a throughput of more than 1,000 messages/s* and, with added support for table partitioning, ensures this high level of performance even as the size of the database increases. The introduction of an API for archiving messages facilitates moving data from the database to an external long-term archival system.

Domibus 5.0 contains several changes that will impact the compatibility of the plugins developed for earlier versions of Domibus. Such plugins will have to be adapted to be compatible with version 5.0 and onwards. This will affect projects relying on custom plugins and/or the standard Domibus Web Service (WS) plugin. Please click here for further details concerning the backwards compatibility of plugins in Domibus 5.0.

Domibus 5.0 includes a number of new features, improvements, and bug fixes, among which:

  • Possibility to visualize the non-repudiation receipts in the Admin console
  • Improved overall performance including refactoring of the database to allow partitioning
  • Optimized pull locking for Oracle 
  • Possibility to use an external agent to archive Domibus messages
  • Default WS Plugin: Possibility to operate the plugin in PUSH mode
  • Possibility to filter messages retrieved by the listPendingMessages method of the WS Plugin
  • Possibility to offload the TLS traffic to an external component
  • Improve the decoupling of the Domibus core from the plugin implementations 
  • Possibility to validate incoming UserMessages using a Validation Extension
  • Possibility to reference JMS Plugin payloads via HTTP endpoints
  • New client authentication trust store admin console page
  • New WS Plugin which uses the edelivery namespace
  • UI Replication has been removed

Domibus 5.0 is backward compatible with 4.2.x. The upgrade is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended.

*Results measured during a 2-hour period with Domibus working in single-tenancy mode, deployed in a 4-node cluster, using Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Database, with a message size of 5 kB, configured to receive 500 messages/s and send 1,000 messages/s.

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 exchange of data. It is based on the eDelivery AS4 profile, an open technical specification for the secure, web-based, payload-agnostic exchange of data or documents.
