✅ Remediation

This is a server patch that contains a single fix and should not be mixed with other server patches. If you already have a server patch, please contact Red Hat Global Support Services for compatibility assessment. You must shutdown the JBoss ON server prior to applying this patch. This patch must be applied to each JBoss ON server in a high-availability (HA) environment. You can apply the patch to each server individually so that only one server is down at a time. To install the patch: 1. Stop the JBoss ON server. 2. Backup and remove the following files: <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/jbossas/modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/commons/collections/main/commons-collections-3.2.1-redhat-2.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/jbossas/modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/commons/collections/main/module.xml <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/rhq-portal.war/WEB-INF/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/rhq-content_http.war/WEB-INF/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar 3. Extract the patch archive to the JBoss ON server's home directory. For example: unzip -od "${RHQ_SERVER_HOME}" /tmp/BZ1282545.zip Be sure to replace any existing files if prompted. 4. Start the JBoss ON server. Repeat the steps for any remaining JBoss ON servers in a HA environment. To uninstall the patch: 1. Stop the JBoss ON server. 2. Remove the updated files: <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/jbossas/modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/commons/collections/main/commons-collections-3.2.1.redhat-3-bz-1281964.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/jbossas/modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/commons/collections/main/module.xml <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.redhat-3-bz-1281964.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/rhq-portal.war/WEB-INF/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.redhat-3-bz-1281964.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/rhq-content_http.war/WEB-INF/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.redhat-3-bz-1281964.jar 3. Restore the following files from the backup created prior to applying this patch: <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/jbossas/modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/commons/collections/main/commons-collections-3.2.1-redhat-2.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/jbossas/modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/commons/collections/main/module.xml <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/rhq-portal.war/WEB-INF/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar <RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/rhq-content_http.war/WEB-INF/lib/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar 4. Start the JBoss ON server. Repeat the steps for any remaining JBoss ON servers in a HA environment.
