JOnAS 5.3.0 M2

Hi all We're proud to annouce a new milestone version of JOnAS 5.3 : OW2 JOnAS 5.3.0 M2. We're still on the road to Java EE 6 Web Profile with a web focused version. You can choose between Tomcat 6/7 and Jetty 6/8 for the web container. Two JSF 2.0 implementations are also supported: Apache MyFaces and the Oracle Reference Implementation, both of them being TCK tested. The JOnAS Audit System has also been improved, with additional JaxWs data (web services). There are also numerous bugs fixes: * Servlet 3.0 Async support has been fixed into Tomcat 7 * WEB-INF/web.xml is now optional * PreparedStatement's cache has been optimized * ... JOnAS 5.3.0 M2 can be downloaded here.

JOnAS 5.3.0-M1 : Ready to serve

Hi all

 This is quite a busy week: earlier this week was released JOnAS 5.2.0, the first stable release of the 5.2 series, and today we distribute version 5.3 M1 !

 So, what's http://jira.ow2.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10010&version=10152&">http://jira.ow2.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10010&version=10152">new in 5.3 ?
First, 5.3 series targets http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=316"&">http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=316">Java EE 6 web profile : a web oriented subset of the Java EE specifications. During the 5.3 development cycle, we will incrementaly add support for the required specifications. Thanks to the recent Oracle Java EE Licensee Scholarship renewal, we'll have a lot of tests to ensure compliance

JOnAS 5.3 includes an initial support for JSF 2.0 (Mojarra 2), Servlet 3.0 (Tomcat 7) and JAX-WS 2.2 (CXF 2.3). It already have CDI 1.0, JAX-RS 1.1, Bean Validation 1.0, JPA 2.0 and EJB 3.1 preliminary support.

In parallel of the Java EE related work, we've moved away from HSQL to H2 as our default in-memory JDBC database, ensured that JOnAS was running well on Java 7, upgraded our components to their latest versions (Felix 3.2.0, ...) and many more bug fixes...
Last but not least, we have a brand new Web services testing console in jonasAdmin.
See the http://jira.ow2.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10010&version=10152&">http://jira.ow2.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10010&version=10152">releases notes for details.

As said in a previous mail, we're now using a time boxed release strategy, that means that we will perform a new release each month. So expect regular news from our side (an http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/BlogRss?xpage=rdf"&">http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/BlogRss?xpage=rdf">RSS feed is available)

As usual, we'll be happy to gather all possible feedback from you.
Please http://jira.ow2.org/browse/JONAS"&">http://jira.ow2.org/browse/JONAS">report bugs on JIRA, or http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ContactUs#HIRC&">http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ContactUs#HIRC">discuss on IRC or via http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Lists"&">http://wiki.jonas.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Lists">mailing lists.

As usual, 2 distributions are available for download.
JOnAS Full Profile is a full blown Java EE Application Server Platform: Zip / Tgz / Rpm / Installer / Offline Installer
JOnAS Micro Profile is small JOnAS Bootstrap (require an internet connection): Zip / Tgz

Thanks
