How to upgrade JBoss Web in JBoss 5.x.x?


JBoss Web 2.1.3 in JBoss 5.1.0 has some fixes that I need on a production server running JBoss Web 2.1.2 in JBoss 5.0.1.

I don't want to upgrade to JBoss 5.1.0 yet on a production cluster. This is too risky.

So how do I upgrade JBoss Web only?

This is a sar. So I'd imagine all that is required is to switch in jbossweb.sar from JBoss 5.0.1.

Has anybody done this? Is this the correct approach? Are there any gotchas?

I can't find any useful documentation in relation to this on the web.

Maybe I should ask this question on serverfault - but there seems to be less activity there.


Solution

  • I managed to reproduce the bug we had and verified that it did not occur with jboss 5.1.0. I upgraded to jboss 5.1.0 to sort this out. That plus lots of system testing and everyone was happy.
