Enabling sharedlib feature for WAS Community Edition v3.0.0.0

To add shared library feature into WAS Community Edition Server, Please refer this instruction:

1. Unzip the attached file into the WAS Community Edition installation directory, and ensure the files listed in the zip file replace the ones in the server installation.
WAS_CEv3.0.0.0_SharedLib_201210203.zip
WAS_CEv3.0.0.0_SharedLib_20120203.zip

2. Update <WAS_CE_HOME>\var\config\config.xml to add 2 modules information like this

<module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/sharedlib-extender/3.0-w20110721/car"/>
<module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/sharedlib/3.0-w20110721/car"/>

3. Start the server with the cache cleaned, for example,
<WAS_CE_HOME>\bin\startup.bat -c
<WAS_CE_HOME>/bin/startup.sh -c

Finally, you can use the shared library feature. The default shared library location is <WAS_CE_HOME>\var\shared\. If you prefer to put the shared libraries at any other location of your file system, define them with a SharedLib GBean. For example,

<gbean name="SharedLib" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.sharedlib.SharedLib">
<attribute name="baseDir">var/shared</attribute>
<attribute name="classesDirs">classes</attribute>
<attribute name="libDirs">lib</attribute>
<reference name="ServerInfo">
<name>ServerInfo</name>
</reference>
</gbean>

Note that you need to define a new attribute called "baseDir" in your SharedLib GBean definition, the "classDirs" and "libDirs" are all relative to the "baseDir" location.

About the detail usage of sharedlib feature, you can refer the instruction from WAS Community Edition 2.1.1.x documentation -> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/wasce/V2.1.1/en/shared-library.html
