WebFacing and upgrading to WDSC 5.1.2.6
So I converted my first WebFaced screens since applying the 5.1.2.6 patch
and all of my settings have been reset. The default function key maps are
gone and XML files are compressed into a JAR. I have 2 questions:
In future upgrades/patches, is it possible to retain values like these so I
don't have to reset them?
Can future upgrades/patches take my custom stylesheet (from the styles
directory) and bring it forward so I don't have to copy it manually?

Hi Rob,
W.R.T. the key maps the developer says "If he is done command key maps
via the properties dialog we preserve those during migration. If he has
changed his CmdKey.jsp then he needs to copy his changes from
CmdKey.jsp_5126_bak to his new CmdKey.jsp file."
For the most part we try to retain all the settings, the jarring bit may
be a bug, I need to look into this.
When there has been an update that has changed the style contents
(improved the pagebuilder or whatever) you will find that you get the
current default style and your old modified style is renamed to it's old
name with "_wf-version_bak" (e.g., "_5126_bak")appended to it.
Here is a doc about some styling problems. It probably does not affect
you but could be of general interest for those migrating from releases
prior to 5.1.2
