On behalf of the OpenUDDI project team, Joakim Recht has announced the release of OpenUDDI Server Version 0.9.7. The OpenUDDI project is focused on creating a high performance, easy-to-use UDDI v3 compliant server and client library. The server and client is built using Java -- version 5 for the server and version 1.4 for the client. The server uses Hibernate, and supports a wide variety of SQL databases, as well as LDAP for data storage. The project is built on the Novell UDDI server but with many new features and optimizations.
