[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-407) easier upgrade path

easier upgrade path
-------------------

         Key: GEOS-407
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-407
     Project: GeoServer
        Type: New Feature
Reporter: dblasby
Assigned to: dblasby
     Fix For: 1.3.0 RC5

allow users to have an easier time "upgrading" a server.

Ideas:

program that takes old war (or directory) + new war (or directory) --> new code with old config (.war or directory)
  --> use the capabilities/ from the new war
  --> all the .jsp will need to be overwritten (and work/ cleaned out)
--> server will need to re-start
  --> could have permission problems...

web app --> upload a new .war or .zip (geoserver_data_dir)
