Press Release - CECID Contributed Self-Service Hermes Messaging Gatewayv
*CECID Contributed Self-Service Hermes Messaging Gateway v2.0 (H2O) 
Testing Server for Free 
<http://www.cecid.hku.hk/pressrelease_20080229_H20%20Testing%20server_v2a.php>*

Hong Kong SAR, Peoples Republic of China – 29 February 2008 – Center for 
E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID), The University of Hong 
Kong (HKU) is pleased to contribute Hermes Messaging Gateway v2.0 (H2O) 
testing server for free to facilitate users to conduct self-service 
testing after its installation.

Since its release at CECID open-source community website 
<http://community.cecid.hku.hk/index.php> in June 2007, H2O has been 
downloaded and adopted by developers and users from over 60 economies 
around the world. Overwhelming responses and valuable feedback are 
received daily via the mailing list cecid-hermes2@g... 
<mailto:cecid-hermes2@g...> and the community website, in 
which some users reported that they experienced difficulties in setting 
up the appropriate configuration during installation, and finding 
partners for testing. In response to these comments related to H2O 
installation, a testing server which serves as a virtual testing machine 
is being setup at the community website to facilitate users to 
troubleshoot installation problems and conduct self-service testing on 
network connectivity to the Internet and message exchange functions.

The H2O testing server (a.k.a. Swallow) is a web-based platform for 
testing messaging functionality of any client installed with H2O. It 
acts as a standardized, user-friendly, and comprehensive testing suite 
for users to test and learn how to use H2O practically. At Swallow, a 
user interface is provided to create an interoperability profile. After 
setting up, users can send their testing messages from their message 
gateway to Swallow. In turn, Swallow will send responses back to the 
users' message gateway, notifying them the message status and reporting 
error messages if any. All these network data is captured and displayed 
at Swallow's web interface for ease of monitoring the message 
connectivity. In short, Swallow helps users to install H2O more 
effectively and provides an Internet-based host to test their H2O 
deployment in a holistic way. Try it out yourself at
