             Summary: Upgrade an application via Web Console
                 Key: AS7-4390
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4390
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: CLI, Console
    Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final
            Reporter: Manel Martinez
            Assignee: Alexey Loubyansky

Our team is testing AS 7 as we are very interested in domains, new web console, and jboss client. Because of our development model we need to upgrade web applications (usually war files) in the easiest way, just like we use to do with AS 4 (by rewritting the application file).

I first tried to upgrade an existent application by "Add content" button in "Manage Deployments" screen in the web console. It doesn't work, in fact the screen "Please wait, Your request is being processed ..." never disappears and a "Deployment Failed" message is raised in Messages section (up and right of console) and nothing is written in log files.

Then I tried with jboss-cli.sh, and after much testing I finally found that this command successfully works for upgrading an application without needing to know which group/s is the application deployed in:

deploy /path/to/file.war -f

Is there any possibility to upgrade and application via Web Console just by uploading new application version in domain mode? Just like the -f flag for deploy client command. Let's say that remove/add application is not the best way for us, because we have several server groups and it's easy to commit human errors when choosing right groups while adding the new version.
