ECF Kepler/3.6.1 - Remote Services Takes Center Stage

As part of the Kepler simultaneous release, ECF has just released version 3.6.1.  The complete new and noteworthy is here, but the highlights are:

  • Remote Service (RS) and Remote Service Admin (RSA) implementations passing the OSGi Test Compatibility Kit for OSGi R5 Enterprise Specification
  • Support for SSL/TLS secure transports in ECF generic provider
  • REST remote services provider based upon Restlet 2.2

ECF's implementation is the only existing RS/RSA implementation with an open and modular provider-architecture, which enables new discovery and distribution providers to be created...or existing ones extended...by us or others.   Any such extended/new providers are/will be automatically be RS/RSA standards compliant.
