Restarting Websphere Server after replacing jar in AppServer/lib

[manik prasad]

While using Websphere 6.1, I needed to replace commons-collections.jar with commons-collections-3.2.jar in AppServer/lib location due to error of version conflict (org/apache/commons/collections/SetUtils.orderedSet(Ljava/util/Set;)Ljava/util/Set. ) This server is on Linux machine and shares database server as well. Do I need to restart entire server or just restarting AppServer will take newer version of commons-collections-3.2.jar

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

What's this "entire server" you're asking about?

[manik prasad]

entire server means ....the server machine

I thought it might mean that. If you want the Websphere application server to use a different classpath, then it's only necessary to restart the Websphere application server.
