JOnAS 5.2.0 M2 released
The whole JOnAS team is pleased to announce a new milestone of the new JOnAS 5.2 series.
The JOnAS 5.2 series of releases mostly targets Java 6 support and previews of Java EE 6 features as well as additional features.
In a few words, this JOnAS 5.2.0 milestone (M2) provides JAX-WS 2.1 support, comes with an http://www.slideshare.net/catherinenuel/audit-applications-javaee-solutions-linux-ow2">audit system, supports JPA 2.0 and CDI and some EJB 3.1 singleton feature for users living on the edge and http://jira.ow2.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10010&version=10073">resolves 33 issues.
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback using our http://jira.ow2.org/browse/JONAS">JIRA issue tracker.
Documentation has been http://jonas.ow2.org/JONAS_5_2_0_M2/doc/doc-en/html/">updated on site.
In more lengths ...
Java 6
An extra validation effort was put on this release to ensure that JOnAS is running well using JDK6.The Sun HotSpot and http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk6/">OpenJDK 6 JVMs have been used during the tests.
Web Services
The move to JAX-WS 2.1 has been the opportunity to upgrade our http://cxf.apache.org">Apache CXF to a newer version (2.2.9, the current latest released yesterday)Audit
Try out the new audit system by enabling the audit service in JONAS_BASE/conf/jonas.propertiesFor EJB events, don't forget to uncomment audit EJB3 component in JONAS_BASE/conf/easybeans-jonas.xml
Persistence
JPA 2.0 is now provided as a Java EE 6 preview, just set hibernate3.5 or eclipselink2 as persistence provider to activate JPA 2.0 support.As an experimental feature, JOnAS supports both http://openjpa.apache.org">OpenJPA1 and 2 providers (openjpa or openjpa2 in the jonas.properties).
Still in the JPA area, multiple JPA providers are now supported at the same time, simply set multiple providers names in your jonas.properties.
jonas.service.ejb3.jpa.provider hibernate,eclipselink
Context and Dependency Injection
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=299">Context and Dependency Injection (lets call it CDI for short) is a brand new Java EE 6 specification. It defines what is a managed beans (not to be confused with MBeans that are JMX management beans) and what can be done with them.A managed beans supports:
- a complete, fully annotation based, injection system (@Inject and @Produce). Injected beans can be qualified with user defined annotations so that Client remains cleanly decoupled from implementation details (@Qualifier).
- the interception model that was so successful for EJB 3.0
- extensible context aware injection (think of context as JSF scopes: application/session/request) managing injection of the right instance depending on the context.
- a generic eventing solution decoupling observers from dispatcher (the source)
Currently the JOnAS/Weld integration is limited to standalone Web Applications (will be extended to all Java EE module types in future releases). http://websvn.ow2.org/listing.php?repname=jonas&path=%2Fsandbox%2Fsauthieg%2Fjonas-cdi-webapp%2F">Checkout the sample source to see the basics of CDI enabled applications.
OSGiTM Framework
With 5.2 M2 it's now far more easier to do advanced OSGi tuning (adding packages to system bundles, setting felix log level, ...).${jonas.base}/
conf/
osgi/
defaults.properties
gateway.properties
Theses files are mostly self documented (please raise your voice if you have comments) and should be easy to understand and extends.
Thanks to all developers and contributors for their involvement

JOnAS 5.2.0 M1 released
Hi community,
In few words ...
The whole JOnAS team is pleased to announce the first milestone of the new JOnAS 5.2 series.
The JOnAS 5.2 series of releases mostly targets Java 6 support and previews of Java EE 6 features as well as additional features.
In a few words, the first JOnAS 5.2.0 milestone (M1) provides JAX-WS 2.1 support, comes with an audit system, supports JPA 2.0 and CDI for users living on the edge and last but not least resolves 89 issues.
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback using our http://jira.ow2.org/browse/JONAS">JIRA issue tracker.
Binaries are available, as usual, on the download page (in the 5.x milestones section).

JOnAS 5.1.0 RC4 released
Dear JOnAS enthusiasts,
We're pleased to announce the availability of JOnAS 5.1 Release Candidate 4.
This version has been under work during all the summer to provide you the best (and most stable at this time) release of JOnAS 5.1: a large number of project dependencies (Tomcat, EasyBeans, Joram, ...) have been upgraded to include the latest bug fixes, a lot of issues (40+) have been resolved and a particular attention was paid to the new administration web console's user experience. These last months were completely dedicated to the stabilization of our Java EE platform, testing it extensively with multiple OSs and different JVMs in order to guarantee as much as possible a steady release.
This is the last RC on the road to a final release. The team expects to cut the 5.1.0 final version within a couple of weeks.
Two profiles for JOnAS 5.1 RC4 are available for download: * JOnAS Micro-profile which is a small bootstrap for JOnAS that will download services on demand (An internet connection is required): Zip / Tar.Gz * JOnAS Full-profile which is a full-blown Java EE Application Server : Installer / Zip / Tar.Gz
As usual, the JOnAS team is welcoming all kind of contributions: bug reports, patches, comments, discussion on mailing lists, ... even congratulations ;)
Enjoy. Guillaume, on behalf of the JOnAS Team
