Welcome, you've found the home of the Second Star To The Right software library.

• An XML Library which consists of:
  • A small, SAX style XML parsing engine.
  • A DOM wrapper for the SAX engine.
  • An XML Element object that I find far easier to work with than the others I've used before.
• A basic Crypto Library which consists of:
  • A Diffie-Hellman key generator for keys of arbitrary length.
  • MD2, MD5, and SHA1 non-reversable message digesters.
  • An implementation of the TEA shared secret key algorithm.
• A Utility Library that could use a little more organization:
  • Base64 encoding/decoding libraries.
  • Simple object caching and pooling libraries.
  • An easy-to-use event multiplexer.
  • Some handy String processing methods.
  • A class for creating and using XML based configuration files which are far more flexible than Java property files.
  • Thread pooling and queueing libraries to make writing heavily threaded applications much easier.

These libraries are written to be Java 1.1 compatible to allow for the widest possible range of uses. They have no external dependencies other than the core Java libraries. Also of note, they have been placed under the BSD License with the exception of a few files in the com/ssttr/crypto and com/ssttr/util packages. See the README.txt and LICENSE.txt files in the source package for more details.

You can download the source, docs, or libs here, browse the combined JavaDocs or even the CVS repository.

Also, here is a tarball of the JavaDocs for the sake of offline viewing.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Just send email to osss {at-sign} ssttr.com. Sorry about the wierdness, just trying to prevent spambots from finding my address.
