If an Ambari View needs an additional jar (or a newer version of an existing jar) these are the steps required to update the Ambari View webapp.

The steps listed are using Ambari Slider View webapp as an example.

# Locate the jar {code}/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/slider-<version>.jar{code} and take a backup of it somewhere
# Create a temp directory say {{/tmp/slider/}} and unpack the above jar into it
{noformat}
mkdir /tmp/slider
cd /tmp/slider
jar xvf /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/slider-<version>.jar 
{noformat}
# Drop the new or updated versions of existing jars into the folder {{/tmp/slider/WEB-INF/lib/}}. Make sure you delete the old jars if you have dropped newer versions of them.
# Re-pack the jar and update the original location with it -
{noformat}
cd /tmp/slider
jar cvf /tmp/slider-<version>.jar .
cp /tmp/slider-<version>.jar /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/slider-<version>.jar
{noformat}
# Locate the directory {code}/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/work/SLIDER{1.0.0}{code} If it exists, then drop the new jar into the following path {{/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/work/SLIDER\{1.0.0\}/WEB-INF/lib/}}. If the directory does not exist, then skip this step.
# Restart ambari-server
