Accessing 3rd party jars from ear.

Question

I was able to create a war with the 3rd party jars in webinf/lib, register it with weblogic and access them from webapps another ear, after specifying this reference in EACH of the webapps.
However if I want to just make the ear reference these jars, ie., all the webapps in the ear access these jars, without individually specifying the reference, then it gives me an error.
What is different with providing a reference from an EAR ? I added it to the weblogic-application.xml as the docs suggested....

what do you mean by "to integrate this back into the specifications"? whatis the
J2EE way to achieve it if there is one? Thanks

Nope, embrace and extend. We are working to integrate this back into

Is that part of J2EE or weblogic's implementation?

Is there a way to put in one shot instead of modifying every .jar
and
..war's manifest
file.

Hi Sudhindra,
you can put them in your EAR (on top level or you can create a
directory
for them, like "libs" or sth.), and then create class-path entriesin
the manifest files of your WAR and ejb-jars.
Example: if myApp.war needs myUtil.jar, then write a line
Class-Path: myUtil.jar
in the manifest file of myApp.war. If myUtil.jar is in libs, write
libs/myUtil.jar and so on.

Hi
I have some common 3rd party jars and zips that are accessed
by
my
WARs and EJB
JARs. Where in my EAR structure do i place them so that these
common
jars like
classes12, formulaone etc can be accessed from within my WARs
and
EJB
jars?
