You can associate shared libraries with the class loader of a server. Classes represented by the shared library are then loaded in a server-wide class loader, making the classes available to all applications deployed on the server.
Before you begin
This article assumes that you have defined a shared library at the cell, node, or server level. The shared library represents a library file used by multiple deployed applications.Why and when to perform this task
To associate a shared library with the class loader of a server, create and configure a library reference using the administrative console. A library reference specifies the name of the shared library file.If you associate a shared library with a server class loader, do not associate the same shared library with an application.
