to receive
Important Changes

About xmlBlaster: xmlBlaster is a publish/subscribe and point to
point 100% Java based MOM server (message-oriented middleware) which
exchanges messages between publishers and subscribers. The message is
described with XML-encoded meta information. Messages may contain
everything, GIF images, Java objects, Python scripts, XML data, a word
document, plain text - just anything. Communication with the server is
based on socket, CORBA (using JacORB), RMI, XmlRpc, HTTP or email,
clients are free to choose their preferred protocol. Other protocols
like SOAP may be plugged in. The installation of the xmlBlaster message
broker takes just one minute. The xmlBlaster server is pure Java and
under LGPL. Read more: http://www.xmlblaster.org/whatis.html
