Upgrading libraries in Geronimo repository?

[Wing Yung <wi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to upgrade libraries in the repository? For
example, how could I upgrade jline from version 0.9.91 to 0.9.94 (to
enable 64-bit Windows support)? I noticed that dependency information
is written to the config.ser files and I could use
org.apache.geronimo.kernel.config.ConfigurationUtil to modify these,
but is there an easier way?

Thank you,
Wing

Thanks for the quick reply. What is the module id for a jar? I tried
including the following line:

jline/jline/0.9.91/jar=jline/jline/0.9.94/jar

but when I try to run deploy.bat I get an unsatisfied link error
(64-bit windows, 64-bit jvm). I've tried running it in verbose mode as
well; when it prints out the classpath it is still using 0.9.91.

It looks like gshell starts up with no problems with jline 0.9.91.

I suspect you may have to indicate that the version has changed using  
the instructions here (not, AFAICT, visible from the top level  
documentation page)
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/how-to-upgrade-jars-and-swap-modules.html

Furthermore since IIUC jline is used by gshell rather than geronimo  
proper this may not work.  Please let us know what does and doesn't  
work.

You should be able to upgrade by just adding jline 0.9.94 with the 
proper directory/name structure into the server repository.  Most of the 
Geronimo dependencies are not specified with versions so that the 
version utilized at run time will default to the highest version 
available in the repository.  You can add the file into the server 
repository manually or via the admin console.

HTH,
