This document summarizes Orange's usage of the JOnAS application server from OW2. It discusses Orange's long involvement with OW2 as a strategic member. JOnAS is widely used at Orange for both development and production applications due to its quality, performance, and licensing. The technical architecture at Orange typically uses JOnAS in virtualized farms or standalone instances. Additional OW2 components like JORAM for messaging and JASMINe for monitoring are also utilized. Use cases include providing integrated development platforms, archetypes for common application types, and automated integration testing with JOnAS, Maven and Hudson. Orange's plans for 2012 include JOnAS enhancements for cloud deployments and improving JAS

6. JOnAS success story
§ introduced in 2003
– From 3.3 version to 5.2 now
§ the only AS for development since 2006
– local development platform (JOnAS + Eclipse)
– even for applications deployed on other AS products
§ today 1st Application Server's choice
– JOnAS is the mostly used application server in France
– JOnAS has highest priority in the prescription within the Group
§ migrations from other AS proprietary products to JOnAS
– accompanied by in-house IT support
– very positive feedback

7. JOnAS in-house usages
§ JOnAS is the main AS
– for Information System (internal customers)
– for Services Platforms (external customers)
§ main component for agile delivery infrastructure of Java based
applications
– we deliver a ready-to-use development or integration platform in two days
– with Linux, Open JDK, JOnAS, Apache, Maven, Hudson, all together
connected
§ hundreds of applications with JOnAS in production
– thousands of server instances in production
– single instances to large-scale applications
– for all levels of criticality (SLA)

10. JOnAS technical architecture
§ Open Source architecture
§ virtualization and agile AS infrastructure
by default JOnAS
OpenJDK
§ n-tier model mandatory
Linux
§ simple architectures Virtlualization stack
x86 hardware
– Farm or standalone by default
– Cluster tested but rare needs
§ industrialization stack
– OW2 JOnAS (includes Tomcat, JORAM)
– OW2 JASMINe (includes JaDOrT, Monitoring)
– OpenJDK

13. JORAM usages
§ collocated in JOnAS Application Server
§ messaging intra-application
§ messaging inter-application using queue bridge with new features :
– automatic reconnection
– load-balancing
– persistence
– most of the time Jms Bridge connected with other provider queues
§ BOA : Bus Orange Asynchrone
– implements AMQP protocol (interoperability)
– contains JORAM AMQP broker (HUB)
– requirements :
– interoperable
– high availability
– scalability and elasticity
13 JOnAS usage in Orange France Telecom - Orange

14. JASMINe usages
§ a JOnAS base technical instance is built by agile delivery to
deploy JASMINe tools JaDOrT and JASMINe Monitoring
§ JaDOrT to deploy a version of an application on a set of
instances without service interruption
§ JASMINe Monitoring to manage applicative instances probes :
– probes can collect information on deployed application and on
instances
– collected values can be stored in CSV files or in internal database of
the technical instance
– customized dashboard can be defined to display the results in a real
time mode or in a replay mode

17. use case : development with Jonas
Java application startup
§ Orange Maven Archetypes are project templates, which can be
merely copied and patterned to create the foundations of real
java applications.
§ We provide several archetypes, all running on JOnAS,
representing the most common Orange applications:
– standard or RIA (rich internet application) web applications
running on an application server,
– SOA (service oriented architecture) front-end
– middleware applications.
§ With this quick start, developers can focus on functional
requirements, because all the classical plumbing is ready to
use.

– Spring framework for dependency injection and layer
architecture
– GWT, JSF, Wicket, Flex for the GUI
– CXF for web services
– Hibernate JPA 2 for persistence
