1.4.1.SP1 Installation Instructions

[eonnen]

In looking through the distribution, the User's Guide, the FAQ and various other locations, I'm unable to find explicit instructions on how to install this build. I'd like to install to a 4.0.5 AS instance but there is no mention of how best to do this. For example:

Should I pacakge a cache sar and deploy that?
Should I just copy all the /lib to server/lib?

I'm further confused as this distribution seems to include a new jgroups.jar and new bsh jar as well as some other new dependencies.

Should the old jgroups.jar be overwritten?
Should the old bsh-1.3.0.jar be removed and the new bsh-2.0b4.jar be installed? Or should they coexist?

Is Tomcat clustering supported on this release?

If I've missed something, please let me know.

I hate to say it but this push seems rushed. I can find no install instructions, no compatibility notes and the readme contains an invalid forum link. All around, I'm hesitating to upgrade given the lack of attention this push seems to have received.

There never have been specific installation instructions, you basically just use the new jars in the distro to overwrite the jars in your current distro.

May be a good idea to wiki-ise some of these steps though; let me know if you feel like doing this.

I understand the sentiments of the poster above. It is completely unclear how 1.4.1.SPx is installed. Which libs should be copied and to where? Many of the combinations I have tried have failed with various cryptic stack traces which seem to indicate version mismatches.

I found the magic jar combo :)
