Holodeck SMP Client

This project provides a library of classes for developing SMP Clients based on BDXL and SMP specifications from the OASIS BDXR Technical Committee and their PEPPOL predecessor. The library provides a customisable SMP client that can be tailored for use with existing Service Metadata Locators and Publishers in a network to retrieve the meta-data of participants. It uses the generic data model classes from the BDXR-Common project for the participant meta-data maintained by the Service Metadata Publishers that abstracts from the actual specification. It includes implementations for both the OASIS specifications and the ones in use in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network.

Using

SMP client need to be built using the org.holodeckb2b.bdxr.smp.client.api.SMPClientBuilder. An example of a basic SMP client, suitable for use in the PEPPOL network, can be found in peppol-smp/src/test/java/org/holodeckb2b/bdxr/smp/examples/PEPPOLSMPClient.java. The example is a simple application that can query for meta-data in the PEPPOL acceptance environment. As shown in the example you need to configure the client so it fits to your specific setup.

The library is available on Maven Central. You just need to include the dependency/dependencies for the version of the SMP specification you need to support. Including any of these will also include the generic SMP client code. The artificats are:
