Upgrade existing SailFin to latest Version

How to upgrade on existing SailFin?

Consider user has existing setup of SailFin 1.0 under $WS/sailfin directory.

% Download SailFin v2 jar file form here. We call this new downloaded jar as v2.jar.

% Copy this v2.jar file to $WS directory.

% cd $WS

% java -jar -Xmx256m v2.jar -upgrade
    or
    java -jar -Xmx256m v2.jar -console -upgrade
    Note: To do the upgrade user have to give -upgrade option otherwise it won't overwrite existing binaries.

% cd $WS/sailfin

% lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml uncompress-jars
    This command uncompress all pack.gz jars to sailfin/lib folder. It won't create any new domain.

% Start the domain now and in-place upgrade would take place. It would update exisiting domain.xml with new schema.
