I have more than one application developed with same version of shale/myfaces/tomahawk. Is it correct install these libraries in "Shared Libraries" not remove them from WEB-INF/lib of each application?
It depends on your situation. Installing the libraries as shared inside the server definitely makes your WAR files smaller and therefore likely to deploy a little faster. On the other hand, you will be requiring that all of the co-installed applications use the same versions of these dependencies, rather than potentially being able to upgrade them individually. One thing to watch out for -- some libraries have been known to have quirks when installed in as a shared library, due to the fact that the class loader hierarchy is changed. The fundamental issue is that it's easy to write code that assumes application classes are loaded by the same class loader that loaded your class. That's true if your class was in /WEB-INF/lib but not true if you install your class in a shared library (your class loader will be a parent of the webapp class loader). The simplest way to find out whether this works is to try it. Craig Regards
