Hello, Good news! A new version of the XML Gateway is available! To be brief, this new release provides:
* Directory Service integration (to LDAP, Active Directory, etc.) allowing clients to query Directory Services through XML (multiple searches are also supported). * A message sending framework supporting multiple destinations, failover, 'store and forward' and third party XML response handlers. * Jasper Reports plugin, enabling one to easily produce smart PDF reports from any datasource (Remedy, LDAP or an SQL database). * A range of new webservice improvements, including the ability to perform extract data from XML using XPath through workflow. I'm spoilt for choice - with such a set of exciting new features, it's tough to decide what's the most interesting. But, if you want to demonstrate value in your AR System investment, the Jasper Reports (http://jasperforge.org/sf/projects/jasperreports) plugin is perhaps the most exciting addition. Incase the Jasper Reports site looks a little overwhelming, the reports are created using the wonderful iReports (http://jasperforge.org/sf/projects/ireport) tool. In other news, don't forget that our XML Gateway Community Edition is available free of charge for anyone who wishes to populate their AR System database from XML. This tool is by far the most comprehensive importing/exporting tool available, and is ideal for populating the CMDB! The tool is totally XML/XPath driven, so don't be fooled by any other "pay for" command line utilities - no-one should be paying money to populate their CMDB from a command line. More good news concerning our Single Sign On plugin coming soon (or pop along to the website for a few sneak preview screenshots!).
