The following steps describe how to update the Camunda artifacts on a JBoss AS 7, Wildfly 8 and Wildfly 10 server in a shared process engine scenario. For the entire procedure, refer to the update guide. If not already done, make sure to download the Camunda 7.8 JBoss distribution, Camunda 7.8 Wildfly 8 or Camunda 7.8 Wildfly 10 distribution. In the following instructions $APP_SERVER should be replaced with either jboss or wildfly, depending on the used application server.

The update procedure takes the following steps:

1. Update the Camunda 7 Modules
2. Update Optional Camunda 7 Modules
3. Update Camunda Web Applications

Whenever the instructions are to replace a module, make sure to delete the previous version of the module first to avoid orphan jars.

1. Update the Camunda 7 Modules

Replace the following modules from the folder $APP_SERVER_HOME/modules/ with their new versions from the folder $APP_SERVER_DISTRIBUTION/modules/:

• org/camunda/bpm/camunda-engine

2. Update Optional Camunda 7 Modules

In addition to the core modules, there may be optional artifacts in $APP_SERVER_HOME/modules/ for LDAP integration, Camunda Connect, Camunda Spin, and Groovy scripting. If you use any of these extensions, the following update steps apply:

LDAP Integration

Replace the following module from the folder $APP_SERVER_HOME/modules/ with its new version from the folder $APP_SERVER_DISTRIBUTION/modules/, if present:

• org/camunda/bpm/identity/camunda-identity-ldap

Camunda Connect

Replace the following modules from the folder $APP_SERVER_HOME/modules/ with their new versions from the folder $APP_SERVER_DISTRIBUTION/modules/, if present:

• org/camunda/connect/camunda-connect-core
• org/camunda/connect/camunda-connect-http
• org/camunda/connect/camunda-connect-soap-http
• org/camunda/bpm/camunda-engine-plugin-connect

Camunda Spin

Replace the following modules from the folder $APP_SERVER_HOME/modules/ with their new versions from the folder $APP_SERVER_DISTRIBUTION/modules/, if present:

• org/camunda/spin/camunda-spin-core
• org/camunda/spin/camunda-spin-dataformat-json-jackson
• org/camunda/spin/camunda-spin-dataformat-xml-dom
• org/camunda/bpm/camunda-engine-plugin-spin

Additionally, also replace the following dependent modules:

• com/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-annotations
• com/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-core

Groovy Scripting

Replace the following module from the folder $APP_SERVER_HOME/modules/ with its new version from the folder $APP_SERVER_DISTRIBUTION/modules/ if present:

• org/codehaus/groovy/groovy-all

3. Update Camunda Web Applications

Update REST API

The following steps are required to update the Camunda REST API on a JBoss/Wildfly instance:

1. Undeploy an existing web application with a name like camunda-engine-rest
2. Download the REST API web application archive from our Artifact Repository. Alternatively, switch to the private repository for the enterprise version (credentials from license required). Choose the correct version named $PLATFORM_VERSION/camunda-engine-rest-$PLATFORM_VERSION.war.
3. Deploy the web application archive to your JBoss/Wildfly instance.

Update Cockpit, Tasklist, and Admin

The following steps are required to update the Camunda web applications Cockpit, Tasklist, and Admin on a JBoss/Wildfly instance:

1. Undeploy an existing web application with a name like camunda-webapp
2. Download the Camunda web application archive from our Artifact Repository. Alternatively, switch to the private repository for the enterprise version (credentials from license required). Choose the correct version named $PLATFORM_VERSION/camunda-webapp-jboss.war.
3. Deploy the web application archive to your JBoss/Wildfly instance.
