If an installed application module uses a resource, create a resource provider that specifies the directory
name of the resource drivers.
Do not specify the resource .jar file
names. All .jar files in the specified directory are added into the
class path of the WebSphere Application Server extensions class loader.
If a resource driver requires a native library (.DLL or .so file),
specify the name of the directory containing the library in the native path
of the resource configuration. Directories specified in the native path must
not contain .jar or .zip files because these files also
are added to the class path of the extensions class loader.
Configure class loaders of an application server for the run-time
environment.
On the settings page for an application server, click Classloader.
On the Classloader page,
click New.
On the settings
page for a class loader, specify the class-loader mode. PARENT_FIRST
causes the class loader to delegate the loading of classes to its parent class
loader before attempting to load the class from its local classpath. PARENT_LAST
causes the class loader to attempt to load classes from its local class path
before delegating the class loading to its parent. Then, click OK.
