When you upgrade to the new version, it will create a new /opt/jboss4/server directory while moving the old /opt/jboss4/server directory to one called /opt/jboss4/server.backup.{date-stamp}. To preserve your old setup, you will have to move your application files, including any libs not included with JBoss into the new /opt/jboss4/server directory.

CentOS 4
The latest version available on CentOS 4 plans is 4.2.1. To take advantage of the most current version, customers are encouraged to migrate to a CentOS 5 plan. For migration details please send a request to support@eapps.com.
