upgrading JSF, RichFaces, etc. in JBoss AS 4.2.3

[elenctic87]

Hi. What is the procedure for upgrading the above libraries in JBoss? Where should they be located, and what .xml files need to be updated? Does jar-versions.xml need to be updated by hand after the upgrade, or is it updated automatically, or does it matter at all? Thank you.

I would say to simply replace the jar files [though I could not say about the etc..jar file, I think that one is cast in concrete ;-) ] and see how it goes. I do not think that any of the apps that come with JBossAS (the home page, web console, jmx console) use those files. Though if you plan on running JBoss Portal that story changes because it does use those JARs.

And the jar-versions.xml does not matter at all - that is merely documentation.
