JBoss EAP 5.1.2 patches
Is there a simple way to tell if newer patched versions of a jar roll-up previous patched versions of the same jar (including security patches) for the same EAP version of JBoss?
E.g. JBoss EAP 5.1.2 patches jbossweb.jar in JBPAPP-7790 + JBPAPP-8108. JBPAPP-8108 is newer (release date, date stamp of jar + JBPAPP # is higher). Can I expect the JBPAPP-8108 patch to include the JBPAPP-7790 patch security fixes?
Any references to a best practice doc/thread that explains JBoss patching policy would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
Apologies in the delay to answering this question.
Patches are not cumulative and thus JBPAPP-8108 (X) would not be included in JBPAPP-7790 (Y) unless it was explicitly stated.
If in your environment you are experiencing both of these issues then please raise a support case and we will look in to it for you.
More information on this can be found on the customer portal [1] and also on a post on this forum [2]. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
