Jboss Eap 6.4 Update 19 Download
Jboss Eap 6.3.3 Download

We are using JBoss EAP 6.4 as part of a third-party software package we run on our servers. In the installation notes, it states that we have to install in as follows:

Install JBoss 6.4.0
Install JBoss 6.4 Patch 9 (6.4.9)
Install JBoss 6.4 Patch 12 (6.4.12)

There is a specific note that JBoss patching is incremental and therefore we have to patch both 6.4.9 and 6.4.12. In scripts provided by the manufacturer I also found references to those specific two patch versions.

I'm confused. I would have expected either to have an cumultative patch (e.g. install 6.4.0, install patch 12), or incremental patches (install 6.4.0, then patch 1, then patch 2, etc).

I googled and did not managed to find a good explanation for these requirements.

What's the logic behind JBoss (6.4) patching and what's so special about patch 9 to warrant the special inclusion?

JBoss Application Server downloads starting from version 7.0 are hosted on jboss.org. Prior to version 7.0 they are hosted on sourceforge.net. For copyright purposes, a detailed source code change log is stored in the.log file. The JBoss EAP 6 patch management system is used to apply downloaded ZIP patches to a single JBoss EAP 6 standalone server or domain host. It can be accessed either through the Management CLI by using the patch command, or through the Management Console.

The update instructions (as found on the download page) for JBoss EAP 6.4 patch 10 say that you have to apply the update to patch 9 first. This carries forward to future patch updates. There is a knowledgebase article which should mention this (it currently doesn't say that this applies to patch update 10 and later, but this should be fixed).
