# Codehaus Cargo : JOnAS 4.x

Created by Former user, last modified by S. Ali Tokmen on Jan 02, 2026

This page has been automatically generated by Cargo's build. Do not edit it directly as it'll be overwritten next time it's generated again.

Due to license conflicts, Codehaus Cargo versions 1.7.6 onwards do not contain the JOnAS Configurator in the Uberjar. If you plan to use the Codehaus Cargo JOnAS containers via Java API or ANT tasks, please download the JOnAS Configurator JARs separately and put them in your classpath.

This does not affect the Maven 3 plugin, as it will download the required dependencies automatically (and, since Maven downloads and stores the JOnAS Configurator JARs separately from Codehaus Cargo you won't run into license issues).

### Supported Configuration properties

The tables below list both the general configuration properties as well as the container-specific ones.

#### Standalone Local Configuration Properties

##### For installed container o.c.c.c.jonas.Jonas4xInstalledLocalContainer

Property name | Java Property | Supported? | Default value | Javadoc
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
cargo.hostname | GeneralPropertySet.HOSTNAME |  | `localhost` |
cargo.java.home | GeneralPropertySet.JAVA_HOME |  | JAVA_HOME version 4 or newer Due to incompatibilities with its JSP environment, JOnAS 4.x doesn't run on Java 8 and above |

cargo.jonas.services.list | JonasPropertySet.JONAS_SERVICES_LIST |  | Will be loaded from the `conf/jonas.properties` file in the container home directory |

Datasource and Resource configuration

In addition to the forementioned properties, this container configuration can also set up datasources and/or resources.

For more details, please read: DataSource and Resource Support.

In addition to the forementioned properties, you can set any JOnAS configuration property that's configurable via the JOnAS configurator using the `cargo.jonas.configurator` prefix. For example, to set the Tomcat AJP port, use the the property `cargo.jonas.configurator.ajpPort` and give the value you like.

As the JOnAS base ANT tasks, used by the configurator, make explicit use of the `java.endorsed.dirs` property which got removed with Java 9, it is no more possible to create any JOnAS configurations with newer versions of Java. You will get errors similar to the below:

    [JmsRa] Cannot make a resource adaptor on RAConfig:
        [...]
    Caused by: Java returned: 1
        at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.execute(Java.java:113)
        at org.ow2.jonas.antmodular.jonasbase.jms.JmsRa.execute(JmsRa.java:222)
