Remember JOnAS, the European consortium-backed open source J2EE-based application server that had Red Hat's backing there for a while until Red Hat up and bought JBoss?

Well, sans Red Hat, JOnAS 4.8, the first enterprise edition, has just been released, promising to be a cornerstone of SOA. It comes complements of the recently reconstituted OW2 Consortium that formed in January when the ObjectWeb open source middleware project merged with its Chinese open source middleware counterpart, Orientware.

The ObjectWeb charter, originally put together by France Telecom, Bull and the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control, expired at the end of 2006.

The LGPL-licensed JOnAS rev includes dynamic clustering, newjc enhancements for generating an entire cluster configuration, cluster management and monitoring, a thread management framework and a fractal deployment framework for deployment.

Bull is providing three-year commercial support.

OW2 says it federates 100 organizations and 6,000 developers in Europe, Asia and the Americas and hosts over 100 projects besides JOnAS.
