A new release of OBOE Open Business Objects for EDI has been posted on the American Coders web site. For more information and to download a free version visit http://www.OpenBusinessObjects.com OBOE translates between several Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document formats and EDI/XML files. The package is targeted at legacy EDI users who want to integrate their systems with the Internet quickly and easily using standards based technology. The OBOE engine is available with an Open Source license. Release 2.5.0 Sept. 6, 2001 Major changes to classes and methods. New logic added to TransactionSetFactory class so that applications can use partner specific XML Rules files. The rules files can be segregated to unique directories, under the base xmlPath directory, to specify files by Version, Receiving Party ID, Sending Party Id and Test/Production Indicator. Added new EDI tokenizer class. ReaderTokenizer, subclassed in Tokenizer, is used to parse java.io.Reader objects. This class was written to reduce the dependency to use the String class to contain EDI objects. This dependency required large amounts of system resource for very large EDI documents. SEE FILE ConversionNotes.txt FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. Added EnvelopeFactory, TemplateEnvelope and TemplateFunctionalGroup. Using these classes along with the new envelopeRules.dtd and an envelopes rule XML file all EDI objects can be defined through XML files. Added the envelope.xsd (schema) file to package. This schema is be used by both the TransactionSet parser and the Envelope parser . oboe.properties file can now be added to the classpath. The package will find the oboe.properties if the file is in a directory, jar file or zip file specified in the classpath environment variable. In the Extended Edition - IDList node can be defined within the DataElement node without using the IDListFile attribute. This is useful for ID dataelements that only use a couple of IDList objects. New classes. Added FTPClient to allow FTP transmission from applications programs. This class is a copy of the Linlyn FTP Java program by Robert Lynch, Peter van der Linden. --- Joe McVerry, President and Chief Technical Officer American Coders Ltd.
