Answer 1

This is how shared libray is referenced.

Logon to the Websphere Application Server console.

• Go to Environment -> Shared Libraries
  1. Create your own Shared Library. Add the classpath pointing to your JAR files.
  2. Apply and save this configuration.
  3. Now, Go to Servers -> Application Servers -> Select the server-> Java and Process Management -> ClassLoader.
  4. Click on that class loader.
  5. Click on the Shared Library References
  6. Click on Add.
  7. Add your shared library.
  8. Save and restart Websphere Servers.
