About

WIFE is an open source Java library for SWIFT messages parsing, writing and processing. The components are heavily tested and running in production environments since 2005.

Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) operates a worldwide financial messaging network. The majority of international interbank messages use the SWIFT network. As of April 2006 SWIFT linked almost 8000 financial institutions in 205 countries.

Although SWIFT offers several solutions and products, organizations may have particular needs. That is to say, usability and Legacy Systems integration usually require organizations to adapt and to construct custom SWIFT message handling applications; where WIFE comes in hand.

Main features:

Parsing of SWIFT MT messages into SwiftMessage Java objects.
Writing SWIFT MT messages from SwiftMessage Java objects.
De/Serialization of SwiftMessage objects into XML.
Hibernate mappings for SwiftMessage objects simplify persitence in applications.

All SWIFT message categories (MT0xx to MT9xx) are supported, including System and Service message. The current version is compliant with ISO 15022.

Back to the basis

Upon request, we'll get back compatibility to java 1.4. While we appreciate and enjoy newer APIs, we also understand that well than breaking java 1.4 support may bring trouble to some of you.
So, from now on: we'll get back to 1.4 for main library, but we're considering an extended version with 1.5 code enhancements. Please, let us know your opinions about this. (2 comments)
