On Solaris 10, installation in a sparse-root zone does not report presence of bundled Application Server in global zone (6512640)

When installing Java ES in a sparse-root zone, the installer checks the global zone for components that you must upgrade in the global zone before you can install in the sparse-root zone. However, the installer does not report the version of Application Server bundled with Solaris 10 as a component to upgrade.

Solution Before installing Java ES in a sparse-root zone, first run the installer in the global zone and upgrade Application Server if the installer shows it as Upgradable.
