Update undertow in wildfly 8.2

[thomasge]

Current stable version of wildlfy uses undertow 1.1.0.Final. But there are some bugs , see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/UNDERTOW-367

It's possible to update the core/servlet module to the latest minor version: 1.1.3.Final ???

Do you see any drawbacks using theses modules ? What other dependecies should be also updated?

Thanks in advance

Just update the old jars with new one in

• io.undertow.core
• io.undertow.jsp
• io.undertow.servlet
• io.undertow.websocket

modules

there should be no issues if you stay on 1.1.x versions.

Thanks. I'll try it.

I'm facing a similar challenge I need fixes from undertow 1.1.2 (specifically UNDERTOW-351 ). I have tried replacing 1.1.3 for undertow core/servlet/websocket. For jsp I tried leaving the jastow-1.0.0 .Final.jar (I also tried jastow-1.1.1-Final.jar).

I found that my original problem was resolved but for some reason I can't login to the management web console - it just blocks with initial loading progress bar - no obvious errors on the UI or the server.

I would be interested to hear if anyones successfully upgraded undertow 1.1.x without side effects.

I have the same issue as Chris Hewitt (updated undertow core/servlet/websocket to 1.1.3). Is there any solution?

Guys, you can try 9.0.0.CR1 that we released on Friday.

I have been unable to find any documentation on updating/upgrading Undertow on Wildfly.  Also, the only link to libraries I found was on Maven Central Site (http://undertow.io/downloads.html > http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|g%3A%22io.undertow%22).  Is there any documentation on upgrading these Undertow Modules?

Is undertow 1.2.x compatible with WF 8.2?

[epeters]

As to updating within the 1.1.x branch of Undertow, if you look at the actual changes from 1.1.0-Final and up, you'll find it's just bug-fixes.  The problem I'm facing is that not all bug fixes make it back into 1.1.x, and some of what hasn't made it into 1.1.x is important for our servers here.

It's been suggested that I move from Undertow 1.1.x to 1.2.8, but I too face the dilemma of figuring out if Wildfly 8.2 will work reliably with the Undertow 1.2.x branch. I'd like to know if that can be done without needing to upgrade all of Wildfly - the goal here is to make a stable/reliable platform so I'd like to minimize how much of the Wildfly package gets updated.  Can we get away with updating just the Undertow Jars, or will more be needed?

I have upgraded the undertow jar files to 1.1,2 but the management console is not loading. Is there a way to fix this or debug it?

Thanks

Prashanth, did you upgrade to 1.1.2 or to 1.2.x?  I've seen no problems with using 1.1.4 on our servers, but in fairness we don't make regular use of the management console.

Honestly, if you updated within the 1.1.x branch, go ahead and upgrade to 1.1.5. There's some fixes in it which I'd consider significant for servers dealing with memory constraints.

Where I stand with my own projects:

Undertow 1.1.5 was just cut. It won't fix everything that's been found wrong with Undertow, but it fixes everything that's been identified by my department in the field.  As it's still on the same branch, it's unlikely it will add more bugs than it fixes, so my department will use 1.1.5.

Thanks Eric. That works. I am able to load the management console. But the console doesn't display any information about the ear deployed.

I have cut Undertow 1.1.6.Final with a fix for the web console issue.
