Hong Kong, China - 15 February 2017 - Center for E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), University of Hong Kong is pleased to announce the new version 2.1 of our open-source Hermes Business Messaging Gateway (also known as Hermes 2+). Thanks to the project funding from the Hong Kong Government’s Innovation and Technology Commission, Hermes is available as free and open-source to users and developers for implementing business-to-business (B2B) or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) applications.

Hermes is a proven and extensible solution for organizations to exchange business transaction data over standardized, reliable, and secure protocols. Since its versions 1.0 and 2.0 were released in 2002 and 2007 respectively, Hermes has been adopted by organizations all over the world to implement large-scale EDI applications over the Internet. The Hong Kong Government has extensively used Hermes to implement various business-to-government electronic document submission gateways. For example, the Hong Kong Office of Government CIO has adopted Hermes as the messaging engine for the Government Electronic Trading Services (GETS) since 2007. The GETS gateway has been handling over 18 million trade-related documents (e.g., Import and Export Declaration) from businesses each year.

Like its predecessors, this updated version supports both ebXML Message Service (ebMS) 2.0 and Application Specification 2 (AS2). (The development of the ebMS 3.0 / AS4 plugin is in progress.) Hermes 2+ supports Java 8 and has upgraded its dependent third-party libraries to their latest versions. New to version 2.1, Hermes 2+ officially supports running on Docker containers. With Docker, you can bring Hermes up and running with just two Docker commands. Now, you can deploy Hermes on-premises as well as on any clouds consistently and painlessly. Added to the existing SOAP API, a new RESTful API is provided for ebMS invocation to simplify application integration. (The RESTful API for AS2 is under development and will be available soon.)

We have published a new documentation website for Hermes 2+ at http://hermes.cecid.org, where its user’s guide and developer’s guide are available. The source code of Hermes 2+ is published on GitHub at https://github.com/cecid/hermes and the Docker images are shared on Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/u/cecid.

We regularly visit the Hermes community forum on Google Groups at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cecid-hermes2 to answer usage questions, review feature requests, and announce new releases. For more information, please contact us at her...@cecid.org.

I check the the tomcat for the connector for SSL and the truststore and keystore is ok

I also copied the cacerts from the the previous jdk to the new 1.8 jre/security

And mainly it is a self signed cert

Could you advise whereas to check?

Dear Kopi,

Please try to configure the path of your keystore and other parameters in <Hermes Home>\plugins\corvus-ebms\conf\hk\hku\cecid\ebms\spa\conf\ebms.module.xml. Similar configurations have to be done in both sender and receiver Hermes if message acknowledgement is required.

If you got further questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks!

Thanx

I found out its my SSL cert that expired.

The error was not very descriptive actually

There is 3 certs in play

1) Sign cert

2) Local SSL cert

3) Remote SSL cert

The local SSL cert was the last one to suspect

as tomcat was able to start without expired SSL cert...

Its strange it only throw out the exception ONLY when the message is send

Appreciate now I can see errors in the ebms.log if the JCE was not updated to unlimted strength

The previous version does not have enough logs if the JCE policy was not updated

Best
