elemenope changelog

1. Addition of Enterprise XML-RPC Service Transport Protocol implementation -- Embedded Jetty HTTP Server allows full enterprise capability in XML-RPC services with simplified deployment.
2. Addition of Generic Filesystem Ingestion Operation implementation -- Allows automated processing of files.
3. All examples from elemenope User Guide Cookbook now within the standard configuration file
4. ElemenopeStandardConfiguration -- fixed broker and dispatcher initialization to allow 0 or 1 of each. Fixed default service/operation call to maintenance loop to fatal exit when throwable occurs within. Added capability to define more than one Broker for a service for use with web service implementations.
5. XmlRpcDispatcher -- changed default action when null payload is encountered. This allows call to default service/operation through XML-RPC, as this default call from w/in the maintenance loop always passes a null payload.

1. Configuration changed to reflect services focus.
2. Spring Framework integration with elemenope for simplified user initialization and configuration.
3. Spring Framework acquisition method within Elemenope
4. Expanded BPM capabilities
   • Basic list
   • Basic chain
   • Asynchronous BPM with JMS
5. Addition of standardized BPM payload interface.
6. Addition of boolean attribute to BPM payload to enable one to stop further processing.
7. Dispatcher Failover cleanup
8. Repositories cleanup
9. Utility classes moved out to new FOSS project ctutil.
