Update MyFaces in Geronimo 2.1.1

[gfie]

The Myfaces version (1.2.1) included in Geronimo 2.1.1 contains a bug (or, better, an annoying exemption log when using user defined validators). This is fixed in Myfaces 1.2.3.
How do uninstall/unplug Myfaces 1.2.1 and install/plug in Myfaces 1.2.3?

I've already spent 12 hours on this including finding workarounds. Anybody has done this before?

I added some basic jar upgrade instructions at the end of

http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/plugin-infrastructure.html

Please let us know if this works and if the docs are comprehensible :-)

thanks

Cool. Thanks David. Hope it's ok, I made a few edits and added some specific instructions on how to add a file to the server's repository...

So the 'Simple jar upgrade' method described there works even with jars like MyFaces that are defined as non-overridable due to the Java EE spec requirements?

upgrading a jar using artifact_aliases.properties changes the jar the entire geronimo server uses: it's more or less equivalent to applying a server patch or getting a minor server upgrade.  The spec prohibits applications from using their own jsf implementations, not from server vendors upgrading the server.  The non-overridable setting prevents you from supplying a different jsf implementation in your application, to implement this spec requirement.

hope this makes sense :-)

non-overridable from the application/module's point of view not
server. The plugin-infrastructure page describes the process of
replacing/overriding a jar in Geronimo repository. Applications still
cannot override classes/jars that are not overrideable.

Nice timing! Did you know I'd send a response too and meant to compete
with it? ;-)

Thanks to both of you.  It makes sense -- plus it is the answer I was hoping for!
