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

[web2conor]

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. See below for details.

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?

Or would upgrading to JBoss 5.1.0 be a less risky approach?

(Fixes in JBoss Web 2.1.2: ChunkedInputFilter in JBoss Web 2.1.2 is not very good at handling "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" requests. E.g. a bad input request can cause the server to loop forever. There have been some fixes applied in 2.1.3)

Try asking in the JBossWeb User forum here http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=230

The less risky approach is to use the right AS version. Sometimes, JBossWeb changes are coupled with deployer changes that live in the AS source tree.
