Dear HiveMind users,
I am very glad to announce the release of HiveBoard 0.1.0, a shared online
whiteboard system based on HiveMind and the HiveMind Utilities project.
One could see this project as a "HiveMind & HiveMind Utilities in
Action"
project, since it demonstrates most of HiveMind Utilities modules usage.
The original announcement on SourceForge follows.
Cheers
Jean-Francois
Announcement on SourceForge:
HiveBoard 0.1.0 released!
We are proud to announce a first preview release of the "HiveBoard"
application on SourceForge.
The HiveBoard project aims to build a distributed shared whiteboard system,
particularly useful for meetings between remote teams (eg: in offshore
development). It is 100% built in Java, based on a client/server
architecture. Version 0.1.0 has the following highlights:
- Server running on Jakarta Tomcat 5 and using MySQL 4.0
- Communication transport based on http (ensures usability through
firewalls)
- Secure access to authorized persons only
- Storage of whiteboards in DB (to allow meetings to be interrupted and
resumed later)
- Rich graphical client application, easy to setup and use, running on Java
JRE 1.4 or later, allowing free docking of views inside the main window
(according to the user wishes)
- Several graphical tools available: free-hand pen, eraser, oval, rectangle,
text. Color, line thickness, font type and size can be changed.
Technical highlights:
- Server is Servlet 2.3 compliant and is based upon the following
techniques:
- "Inversion of
Control" (HiveMind container)
- iBATIS SqlMaps for
"low-level" database access
- Caucho Hessian protocol for
remote communications over http
- HiveTranse for high-level
transaction management and
HiveMind-iBATIS integration
- HiveLock security framework
for HiveMind
- HiveRemoting for
Hessian-HiveMind integration
- HiveEvents for events
notification
- Client uses the following techniques/libraries:
- Swing for all graphical
aspects
- HiveMind
- HiveRemoting for remote
access to the server
- HiveEvents for events
notification
- HiveGUI for all GUI
management (menus, docking, commands...)
