<h4><a name="aceshlib"></a>Administer shared libraries</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>WebSphere Application Server - Express uses shared libraries to define code that is used by your enterprise applications, but not packaged within those applications. For example, a utility library, such as IBM Toolbox for Java classes, could be packaged as a shared library. Shared libraries can be associated with an enterprise application or an application server. If you assoicate a shared library with an application server, it is accessible to all of the enterprise applications deployed on that server.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Shared library files in WebSphere Application Server consist of a symbolic name, a classpath, and a path for loading JNI libraries.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can define a shared library at the cell, node, or server level. Defining a library at one of the three levels does not cause the library to be placed into the application server's classloader. To make the classes in the library available to an application or server, you must create an association between the library and the application or server.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A separate classloader is used for shared libraries that are associated with an application server. This classloader is the parent of the application classloader, and the WebSphere Application Server extensions classloader is its parent. Shared libraries that are associated with an application are loaded by the application classloader. For more information about classloaders, see <a href="../program/clshier.htm">Classloader hierarchy</a>.</p>
