• OSGi based services architecture: JOnAS is a set of OSGi bundles, technical services are OSGi services
• Modularity and extensibility: the new server architecture makes it easy to replace a service implementation or to add a new service
• Dynamic configuration: services can be started, stopped, reconfigured at runtime
