EnhydraME Project Announced
1 August 2001

Dear Enhydra Community,

Many of you have asked what has been happening with Enhydra.org over the past few months. Well as a matter of fact a lot has been going on behind the scenes and we are about ready to start rolling it out. Hold onto your hats...

Today the EnhydraME initiative was launched. This is a collaborative effort of industry experts in the wireless and micro-java spaces who have come together to build the world's first micro application server platform! Frankly we are not sure how it will turn out but expect the server to be able to synchronise with its J2EE big brother (Enhydra Enterprise). Sign up now and get involved and help evolve the concept. Check out http://me.enhydra.org for more details.

Under the EnhydraME umbrella are a number of micro-java technology projects. Many of you are familiar with Stefan Haustein's kXML (http://kxml.enhydra.org) and kSOAP (http://ksoap.enhydra.org) projects already. These are joined by kHttp (http://khttp.enhydra.org), a micro http server and Locumi (http://locumi.enhydra.org), a http proxy compatible with kHttp. Both these projects are from the heart and soul of John Beatty, a veteran programmer and now Juxta visionary. For those that missed John's talk at JavaONE (I admit it, I did) he demonstrated Web Services running in J2ME on a PDA device. This was not a client, but rather a server actually serving up Web Services! This demo made use of Stefan's kXML parser and SOAP implementation and consequently this EnhydraME initiative was a match made in heaven.

In the pipeline is a micro Mail implementation (mail4ME) as well as plans for a synchronization engine, micro app container and micro database. Lots to do, so sign up for the me@enhydra.org mail list and help code the micro future.

There is plenty more news to come, so stay tuned for more developments over the next few weeks.

Regards, Paul
