Abstract: NEED SUPPORT FOR SHARING TLD FILES BETWEEN WEBAPPS.  

Description/symptom of problem: 

JSP Tag tld files cannot be shared across webapps.

Directions on how to use:
JSP runtime will search <WAS_ROOT>/lib directory if
WebSphere cannot locate tld file according to JSP 1.1 specification.



Directions to apply efix:

1) Create temporary "efix" directory to store the jar file:
             AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/efix
   Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/efix
         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\efix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:
   java -jar PQ56615_eFix_AEServer_AEsServer.jar

5) Restart WebSphere

6) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.  Do not remove 
   any files created and stored in the <WASHOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/<efix> directories.
   These files are required if an efix is to be removed.



Directions to remove an efix:

NOTE:  EFIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE AN EFIX UNLESS
       ALL EFIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED EFIX.

Example:  If your system has efix1, efix2, and efix3 applied in that order and efix2 is to be
          removed, efix3 must be removed first, efix2 removed, and efix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the efix location (<WASHOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/PQ56615).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
   java -jar  PQ56615_eFix_AEServer_AEsServer.jar

4) Restart WebSphere

5) To enable view the additional information provided below.


Directions to re-apply an efix:

Follow the instructions for applying an efix.  If the backup files still exist (from the 
previous efix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.  Answer "yes" at the overwrite 
prompts.
