When you install Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 5 over an existing installation of Sun Java System Web Server 7.0, the installer automatically carries out the upgrade.
If you have Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 installed, point the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 5 installer to the location of the Web Server 7.0 installation and then upgrade.
If you have installed Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 as part of Java ES 5, you are encouraged to install the following patches from the http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage web site to upgrade to Web Server 7.0 Update 5:
125437 for Solaris SPARC/SPARCV9
125438 for Solaris x86/x64
125439 for Linux
125440 for HP-UX
125441 for Windows
If you are using a localized version of Web Server, install the following patches before installing the base patches for successful upgrade from Web Server 7.0 to Web Server 7.0 Update 5:
126331–05 for Solaris SPARC (8/9/10) (Solaris SPARC Localization patch id)
126332–05 for Solaris x86 (8/9/10) (Solaris x86 Localization patch id)
In Web Server 7.0 Update 5, the multilingual files are integrated into the base patch. Hence, if Web Server 7.0 multilingual packages are installed on your system, you must first install the l10n patch 126331-05 (Sparc)/126332-05 (x86) and then install the base patch 125437-15 (Sparc)/125438-15 (x86) or higher.
For detailed information about upgrading from Web Server 7.0 to Web Server 7.0 Update 5, see Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 6 Installation and Migration Guide.
Web Server 7.0 supports JavaServerTM Faces 1.2 technology. Most JavaServer Faces 1.1 applications are expected to work with Web Server 7.0 without any modifications. However, there are some compatibility issues that might be encountered when migrating applications to JavaServer Faces 1.2 applications and such applications require modifications. The changes are documented in the JavaServer Faces release notes at https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/rlnotes/1.2_04/issues.html.
Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1, provided with Java ES 5 is not compatible with Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 1.

The required Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 upgrade is available with Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 or with the following patches available on http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage web site.
124301 (SPARC)
124302 (x86)
124303 (Linux)
If you are using a localized version of Web Server, install the following Portal Server localization patches:
125301 (Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86 localization)
125302 (Linux localization)
