Hi everybody,
I would like to clarify the status of JOnAS version and known bugs.
I hope I will be complete and clear enough...

On October 2nd 2000 we have released JOnAS 2.1 (Binary version on the
Web).
Since this days some pbs has been raised by the jonas-users community
some are bugs, other not. some are fixed other not.
I want to clarify the situation

- Miroslav & Paolo have signaled that GenIC failed when the name of the
  bean contain some character like "."
   ---> this is fixed in JOnAS 2.1.1
- Joe has signaled thatJeremie in Jonas 2.1 hangs/stalls 
  when  serializing large compound objects
  ----> this is fixed in JOnAS 2.1.1 
- Raphael has signaled that examples/src/security/sb was missing in
  the distribution
  ----> this is partially fixed in JOnAS 2.1.1 (sb is here but
        ejbSample/WEB-INF is missing)

- Torsten Blumreiter has signaled "Changes in Entity Bean not saved"
  ----> This is not a bug of JOnAS 2.1 the primary key class was not
        well implemented and not compliant to EJB 1.1
- John has signaled a "Very Weird Behavior in a BMP Entity Bean"
  ----> This is not a bug of JOnAS 2.1 the weird behavior disappear as
        soon as the BMP bean is correctly initialized


On October 11th we have released JOnAS 2.1.1 binary version on the Web
with the previous bug fixed and two new functionalities:
the possibility to configure the default transaction timeout 
and the passivation timeout

- Paolo has signaled that "there is a possible bug in Activation
  process".
  We are working on, but we have difficulty to reproduce Paolo's
  problem we cannot conclude today on this.


We have tagged today  a version  in the CVS tree (cvs tag: jonas-2-1-2)
this version contains :
- the correction of a bug that occurred
  when we defined a remove method in the remote interface,
- new options in JonasAdmin for setting the passivation timeout,
  the transaction timeout and to run the gc in the server.

but MAINLY this 2.1.2 version contains the possibility to use JMS in
beans.
Using JOnAS 2.1.2 and Joram (which is a 100% pure Java implementation
of JMS available in opensource on the ObjectWeb site at
http://www.objectweb.org/joram/joramHomePage.htm)
it is now possible to involve in the same global transaction 
access to database and JMS operations.
This is possible because Joram is one of the rare JMS that
implements the XA interface of JMS, and also because the code
has been developped in JOnAS for allowing the bean provider to get 
JMS connections in a compliant way.
In this tagged version of JOnAS you will find a complete example
and the documentation in order to know how to use JOnAS + Joram.
Caution: I am not saying that we have implemented the container
managed mesage-driven bean.This is planned for a version
we expect at the end of this year.
I wanted to wait for the end of the current week to do this announce
because we have tested the current version of Joram only on
AIX and Linux, and we have still to test on NT and Solaris.


I hope that Simon will find in this mail the information he needs.

Best regards,
