WebObjects: Using Fingerprint Files

This document describes how to use .fingerprint files and the checkpatchinstall script on Solaris or HP-UX to determine which WebObjects patch has been installed on your system for versions up to and including WebObjects 4.5. For more information on WebObjects patches and what they do, see the WebObjects Current Update List, Knowledge Base document 70037. To find the patch level of a Mac OS X (Server) or Windows WebObjects installation or a Solaris or HP-UX installation of WebObjects 4.5.1 or later, see Knowledge Base document 70074.
