Chapter 2. Applying Hotfix Patch to Fuse on Apache Karaf
2.1. Patching Features and Bundles
Patches are ZIP archives that contain the updated versions of files present in Fuse on Apache Karaf installation. These include:
- Bundles: These are the most common and in the simplest case, hotfix patch may include single bundle.
-
Configuration files and scripts that are present respectively in
$FUSE_HOME/etcand$FUSE_HOME/bindirectories. -
Libraries that are not ordinary bundles and reside in
$FUSE_HOME/libdirectory. -
Feature definition changes: Normally Karaf features are included in descriptors available in the
$FUSE_HOME/systemdirectory, but hotfix patches do not change these files. Instead, hot fix patch may alter feature override file which is$FUSE_HOME/etc/org.apache.karaf.features.xml. This allows you to alter feature definitions in hotfix manner by upgrading given feature’s bundles or even make given feature use additional bundle.
Difference between Upgrading and Hotfix Patches
- Hotfix Patch: A hotfix patch contains fixes for only one or more critical bugs. These are intended to be applied on top of your current Red Hat Fuse distribution. Its main purpose is to update some of the bundles and librabies in an existing distribution.
- Upgrading: The Fuse on Apache Karaf upgrade mechanism enables you apply fixes to an Apache Karaf container without needing to reinstall an updated version of Fuse on Karaf. It also allows you to roll back the upgrade, if the upgrade causes problems with your deployed applications. The Fuse on Apache Karaf upgrade process updates any files, including bundle JARs, configuration files, and any static files.
For Fuse on Apache Karaf Standalone you can apply the patch using commands from the Karaf console’s patch shell. This approach is non-destructive and reversible. Following procedure can also be used for upgrading Red Hat Fuse on Apache Karaf. For more information of upgrading see Upgrading Fuse on Apache Karaf.
