Hello,

is there any "corner" to find the current patches or updates for

JBoss Application Server or

how are bugs and updates fixed on JBoss?

Thank you in advance!

Bugs are tracked in JIRA: http://jira.jboss.org

Patches are in Subversion: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/

Hello Peter,

thank you very much!

So, if ein want to install the latest patches of Application Server, I go to Subversion, select

jbossas SVN Anonymous ViewVC

on this page and than? Is there a dokumentation for patching JBoss AS?

Sorry, but this are my very first steps with JBoss AS! Grrr...

Best wishes from

Christian

Why are you trying to patch JBoss AS? I am guessing that you want to find a fix to a particular problem and apply that fix to the JBoss AS that you have. Is this correct?

What you will find in Subversion is the full source for JBoss AS (and many of the other JBoss products). Usually, you download the entire source using a Subversion command such as:

svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/tags/JBoss_4_0_5_GA/

That command gets you the source for the 4.0.5 release. See also http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SubversionMigrationGuide

For individual patches, you typically have to match up JIRA entries with Subversion version numbers and from there figure out what was patched. Most people don't do that, instead they download the source that contains the fix and use that.
