Improvements:

  • The full profile which replaces the standard assembly
  • First prototype of the micro JOnAS profile
    • Subset of JOnAS components (OSGi platform, deployment facilities, extension capability)
    • Configured by default with the 'depmonitor' service
• Improved support of @OSGiResource on servlets
• JOnAS command refactoring

 'jonas halt' command becomes deprecated and has been replaced by the traditional 'jonas stop' command

• The 'deploy' directory includes now deployment plans which reference JOnAS applications (jonasAdmin.xml, joram.xml, ...)
• The resource service deploys JDBC resource adapters during the service startup (RARs no more located in the 'deploy' directory)
• Deployment plan: order deployments of deployment plan at JOnAS startup (repositories before resources)
• JOnAS deployers (and thus their associated services) are now automatically started depending on the deployed archives.

 Services dynamically started are: ejb2, ejb3, web, resource and ear

• JOnAS Admin console
  • Server's monitoring charts are more dynamical.
• Newjc tool
  • Install clustering examples in the deploy directory of each server when the cluster is generated.
  • Integrate "ondemand" feature in the configuration of each server.

Bug fixes

• #313327 #313553 #313597
• Clustering:
  • CMI servers didn't use the distributed registry to retrieve objects that are not declared as clustered
  • CMI clients with a local registry could not bind objects when using a CMI context
  • A default protocol for CMI client was required even if only one protocol was defined
  • Repair ejb3 clustering that was broken
