Jack Rabbit upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4, NO DEAL

I attempted to upgrade from current version 1.3 to 1.4. Upgrade was smooth and looked ok prima facie but soon we discovered our document uploads and downloads were failing miserably with all kinds of exceptions.

How to roll back (back to 1.3)

1. Rollback your jars (if you use maven, just change the version in POM)
2. If you can afford to recreate the repository, easiest and cleanest way
3. Try to restore the backup. If you dont have one, then 1 is your only option.
