Jars that can be included in /shared/app

[Gaurav Sharma]

Hi,

I am developing a module over WPS-5.1(Portal Server 5.1) using RAD6.0.
Some part of my application is not running because of the confliction between the jar files.
I am bit confused about the jars to be placed in WEB-INF/lib folder and jars to be placed in <PortalSuite>/shared/app folders.

Which jars to be placed where??

I need your humble sugessions.

Thanks,
Gaurav

You need a lesson on WebSphere classloaders.

It can get complicated, but when you start to understand how classloaders work, it begins to make sense.

Working with WebSphere Classloaders using WebSphere Portal Server

Basically, the stuff your web module uses directly, should be packaged in the lib of the war. But, when you get into common components and code, it gets a little bit more complicated.
