Updating WELD in glassfish 4

bobbotron Nov 3, 2016 2:58 PM

Hi there,

I would like to upgrade the version of WELD glassfish 4.1.1 uses. I've done this before for glassfish 3.1.1, but it was a long time ago, my memory is foggy. I know normally you need to overwrite a few jar files in the glassfish modules folder - currently there are three, weld-integration-fragment.jar, weld-integration.jar and weld-osgi-bundle.jar. I've downloaded the weld-2.4.0.Final package, but I don't see these jar files in the artifacts/weld directory. What's the best way to upgrade to WELD 2.4.0 on Glassfish 4?

Thanks!

Hi Robert,
you should only upgrade to the latest bugfix version of Weld integrated with your GF version. It seems that GF 4.1.1 is bundled with Weld 2.2.13 so the latest version which could be used as a drop-in replacement is 2.2.16SP1 (try either weld-osgi-bundle-2.2.16.SP1.jar or weld-osgi-bundle-2.2.16.SP1-glassfish4.jar.). Other versions (2.3.x, 2.4.x) may require additional update of the integration code - please contact GF team to get more info about possibilities.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the speedy reply! I had tried the latest weld OSGI jar yesterday which didn't quite work with GF. Of the two jars you've mentioned, weld-osgi-bundle-2.2.16.SP1.jar seems to be working well, the other had some problems on startup.

Thanks again!
