SailFin CAFE: Preview Release now available.
A preview release of SailFin CAFE is now available. We announced this project during last JavaOne and then onwards a lot of progress has been made. A number of people from Sun/Oracle and Ericsson contributed code to the project. And many in the community have tried it and gave feedback. Thanks a lot for all contributions. I also want to note that the framework is known to work with multiple sip servlet containers now.
If you are at JavaOne/Oracle Open World today, attend CAFE BOF at 7pm tonight at Hilton to get detailed information on the framework.
Here is a list of key features. Take a look at the javadoc for all the java apis.
