For those new to WebSphere, however, it can be downright befuddling. WAS uses four different classloaders. First, there's the J2EE-compliant Java Classloader, which uses the CLASSPATH environment variable to load classes. WAS uses three other classloaders, as well. There's WebSphere Classloader, a WebSphere-specific classloader which uses a ws.ext.dirs environment variable to load classes; there's an Application Extension (AEX) classloader, which loads JARs from the <WAS>/lib/app directory and which manages -- you guessed it -- application extensions; and there's a Module Classloader that loads all of the modules used in the server. >> CLICK for the full tip: http://www.search390.com/tip/1,289483,sid10_gci847015,00.html Do you have a WebSphere tip to share with your peers?
