Re: sharing common java files between multiple ejb's in WLS

[Ashwani Kalra]

From J2EE 1.3 "Using this mechanism a J2EE .jar file can reference utility classes or other shared classes or resources packaged in a separate .jar file that is included in the same J2EE application package. A .jar file can reference another .jar file by naming the referenced .jar file in a Class-Path header in the referencing .jar file�s Manifest file. The referenced .jar file is named using a URL relative to the URL of the referencing .jar file. The Manifest file is named META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in the .jar file. The Class-Path entry in the Manifest file is of the form Class-Path: list-of-jar-files-separated-by-spaces The J2EE deployment tools must process all such referenced files when processing a J2EE module that is or contains a .jar file. " Please read  J2EE.8.1.1.2 section page 102 for more details. --Ashwani           ----- Original Message ----- From: Uthiresh Narayanan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 7:36 PM Subject: sharing common java files between multiple ejb's in WLS I am using WLS 7.0   i have some common classes to be shared by multiple ejbs.
