Error description
Classes not found when a shared library is created and the
scope is limited to server
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server Developers *
* using shared libraries and specifying a *
* directory which contains jars, instead *
* of each jar explicitly. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a shared library is defined as a *
* directory only, the jar files in the *
* directory may not be added to the *
* classloader, resulting in " class not *
* found " errors. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
If a shared library is defined as a directory only, the jar
files in the directory may not be added to the classloader,
resulting in " class not found " errors.
For WebSphere 5.0.2 and earlier, this occurs with server
associated shared libraries.
For WebSphere 5.0.2, this also occurs with application
associated shared libraries (in addition to the server
associated shared libraries).
This can be resolved by replacing the ApplicationServerImpl's
use of the JarClassLoader with the ExtJarClassLoader.
Problem conclusion
The code was modified to replace the ApplicationServerImpl's use
of the JarClassLoader with the ExtJarClassLoader. This will
allow Developers to specify directories, which contain the jars,
for their shared libraries.
