You can set values that control the class-loading behavior of an installed enterprise application. Class loaders enable an application to access repositories of available classes and resources.
An application class loader groups enterprise bean (EJB) modules, shared libraries, resource adapter archives (RAR files), and dependency Java archive (JAR) files associated to an application. Dependency JAR files are JAR files that contain code which can be used by both enterprise beans and servlets.
An application class loader is the parent of a Web application archive (WAR) class loader. By default, a Web module has its own WAR class loader to load the contents of the Web module. The WAR class-loader policy value of an application class loader determines whether the WAR class loader or the application class loader is used to load the contents of the Web module.
Use the administrative console to configure the class loaders.
