JOnAS 5.3.0 M7 released

Hi JOnAS users,

We're very pleased to announce the general availability of a new milestone of JOnAS 5.3 : 5.3.0 M7.

New features in this release:

  • OW2 JORAM 5.8.0
  • Tomcat 7.0.27
  • CXF 2.6 
  • new EJB 3.1 features (Access timeouts, @DependsOn for Singleton session beans, Extented Persistence Context, Stateful timeouts, etc... All EJB 3.1 lite features are now supported)
  • new shell (with OW2 shelbie integration) with remote ssh support (JB/conf/jonas.properties)
  • new Multitenancy features

There are also plenty of bug fixes and components upgrades : #96 issues closed !

Three profiles are available for download  for JOnAS 5.3.0 M7:

JOnAS Full-profile which is a full-blown Java EE Application Server : ( Java Web Start Installer / Java Offline Installer /Zip / Tgz )

JOnAS Micro-profile which is a small bootstrap for JOnAS that will download services on demand (An internet connection is required): (Zip/Tgz)

Remember : If JOnAS ANT tasks are used, note that these tasks are now modular and are only providing tasks for the services included in the assembly.

People may still use now deprecated ANT tasks by using the library JONAS_ROOT/lib/common/ow_jonas_ant_deprecated.jar

JOnAS is also available through maven repositories (OW2 repository and Central repository)

JIRA issue tracker instance is available at http://jira.ow2.org/browse/JONAS

Multitenancy support

Hi all,

This post talks about multitenancy in JOnAS. To meet the new features of cloud computing available soon in Java EE7 and particularly that of multitenancy (sharing an application by several entities called tenants), JOnAS proposes to deploy an instance of the application per tenant in the server. This feature is available in the current SNAPSHOT of JOnAS 5.3.0 M7.

Thus, it will be possible to deploy several instances of the same application in the same JOnAS application server. Each instance is associated to a tenant identified by a unique ID. Application data will be customized per tenant whithout any changes in the application. This allows to isolate tenants in the application server but also in the management console where each administrator has access to the data of its tenant.

For more information, please visit Multitenancy page.
