How to upgrade HornetQ version in JBoss 6?

I am using JBoss-6.0.0 AS which by default comes with HornetQ-2.1.2 version but this version of HornetQ has many Iteration related bugs which are now resolved in HornetQ-2.2.5 version which by default comes with JBoss 7 AS.

I can't switch to JBoss 7 AS because I am already using many other services specific to JBoss 6 AS and it would be very risky for us to switch to JBoss 7 AS as开发者_如何学Go of now.

Is there anyway by which I can upgrade HornetQ version in JBoss 6 AS ? I tried with standalone HornetQ-2.2.5 by running it as different process, but with that JBoss JMX Console is not available.

Any suggestion is appreciated for this. Please let me know if I am missing something here.

Thanks.

but with that JBoss JMX Console is not available.

use the jconsole from the JDK distribution.

You can either get a nightly build at http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/view/JBoss%20AS/job/JBoss-AS-6.1.x/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/JBossAS_6_1/build/target/jboss-6.1.x.zip

Or this same question has been asked on the HornetQ user's forum:

• Delete message journal since the file format for 2.2.5 is not backwards compatible ($JBOSS_HOME/server//data/hornetq)
• Delete existing JMS Resource adapter jms-ra.rar folder under /deploy -Copy libs from HornetQ pack to $JBOSS_HOME/common/lib. The jars to copy are:
  • hornetq-bootstrap.jar
  • hornetq-core.jar
  • hornetq-jboss-as-integration.jar
  • hornetq-jms.jar
  • hornet-logging.jar
  • netty.jar
• Copy resource adapter from hornetq pack to /deploy and rename it from hornetq-ra.rar to jms-ra.rar (effectively replacing old version in step 2 above)
• Copy client libs from HornetQ pack to $JBOSS_HOME/client. The jars to copy are:
  • hornetq-core-client.jar
  • hornetq-jms-client.jar
  • netty.jar
