The Homer Message eXchange is a message exchange service for wireless message formats such as SMS and MMS. HomerMX is a Web Services-based (SOAP/WSDL) gateway that is implemented in J2EE and runs under JBoss. It currently supports SMPP and Nokia's MMS.

HomerMX is based on the commercial gateway released by FieldwareAU in 2003, and has been branched with their permission. This web site was set up on the 17^th March 2004. The source code and binaries will be released ASAP after legals have been sorted. Please join the mailing lists to be notified of the official release. This website will develop over the next couple of months. All J2EE developers welcome.

The main features of the gateway are:

• SMPP support

• 2-way SMS via multiple interfaces (e.g. SOAP, HTTP, JMS)

• MMS via multiple interfaces (future)

• Simple service management and monitoring via JMX

• Sophisticated logging and event publishing

• Supports multiple simultaneous connections (numbers)

• Support for separate client billing

• Secured management and client connections

• Scales to large volumes of incoming and outgoing SMS

• Platform independent (subject to JBoss compatibility)

Main TODO items:

MMS
More Junit tests
More use of JMS Topics
