About TNAPS 3

TNAPS is a free cross-platform application server for .NET, Mono and Java with excellent component-driven architecture.

With TNAPS server application development is easier than ever - you create your own components or get existing ones from TNAPS Marketplace and combine them into application. Imagine building your application from fully-documented and 100% compatible blocks. That is what building with TNAPS feels like. 

You have more time to think about core levels of your application and do not bother yourself about implementation of simple and existing services like pdf generation, report building, hosting, etc. Just download required components and use them in your App.

With TNAPS you are free to target any operation system - Windows, Linux or Mac. TNAPS does not require any platform-specific knowledge, giving you the ability to provide solutions for the customers in every OS segment and expand your target market. You get universal application that runs everywhere - easily and out-of-the-box. TNAPS uses .NET 4 for hosting in Windows and robust Mono framework for Linux and MAC OSX systems. Supported Java machines for launching Java components are Oracle Java and OpenJDK.

This post reveals the behind-the-scenes elements of managed code isolation in .NET and Mono. It helps clarify CLR security infrastructure and mitigate potential security threats.

We are proud to announce that the next major release of our TNAPS application server platform will soon go into private beta, followed by a community preview release. Since our last stable TNAPS release in the past six months, we've been working tirelessly and passionately to bring you a new experience in server application development. In fact, we've switched the major version number because of the dramatic changes in architecture and approaches we have used in TNAPS 3.

It has never been this easy to design and implement RESTful or SOAP server applications, integrate them on the client side, and deploy them.

TNAPS Fundamentals

First of all, our fundamental principle remains strongly intact in the new version: any business logic you create can be a Product.

Starting from TNAPS 3, the approach to implement this principle is "completely component-driven development." Components can be written in any language - .NET or Java and application becomes a set of configured and linked components. Apps as well as TNAPS can be launched in any OS and can contain components written in any language, even in multiple different ones.

TN is proud to release TNAPS version 2.0.5, its final and most perfect release in the TNAPS 2.0.x lineup, as we look ahead to the 2.1 series. Look for highlights of the upcoming TNAPS 2.1 features in late October.

Here are the most interesting feature highlights of 2.0.5 release:

Updated Management Console (TNAPS MC)

TNAPS Management Console was comprehensively updated and reworked to provide more a robust and straightforward user experience. Standard configuration properties like user and groups policies are now graphically presented in a clearer, easy-to-use interface. Management Console now loads in just seconds.

Extensions Management

TNAPS now extends to virtually every part of the server, allowing extended functionality to developers. Now you can create custom bizlets, develop your own host providers, and add new user access policies and authentication methods (for example - biometric authentication tokens).

All of these extensions are now grouped into single node Extensions in the management console, so it’s easy to view loaded components from the extension assemblies. You can even add third party extensions and view third-party components loaded into TNAPS.

TNAPS now has an official distributor in APR countries moving forward, which is exciting news for all of our customers in the region. With the JP-CLOUD experience we expect better support, more collaboration with you, and an abundance of fresh ideas. Stay tuned.
