Use this page to make a library file available to deployed applications.
To view this administrative console page, click Environment > Shared Libraries > shared_library_name.
Level of the location of the shared library configuration file.
On single-server installations, shared library has its configuration file in a location that pertains to the cell, node, or server level.
On multiple-server installations, the shared library has its configuration file in a location that pertains to the cell, node, server, or cluster level.
| Data type | String |
Specifies a name for the shared library.
| Data type | String |
Describes the shared library file.
| Data type | String |
Specifies a list of paths that the product searches for classes and resources of the shared library.
If a path in the list is a file, the product searches the contents of that JAR or zip file. If a path in the list is a directory, then the product searches the contents of JAR and zip files in that directory. For performance reasons, the product searches the directory itself only if the directory contains subdirectories or files other than JAR or zip files.
| Data type | String |
| Units | Class path |
Specifies the class path for locating platform-specific library files for shared library support; for example, .dll, .so, or *SRVPGM objects.
If you specify a value for Native Library Path, the native libraries are not located by the WebSphere Application Server application or shared library class loaders unless the following conditions exist:
For example, in the class that loads the native library, call System.loadLibrary(native_library) in a static block:
static {System.loadLibrary("native_library");
Native libraries cannot be loaded more than once by a class loader. Thus, it is preferable for native libraries to be loaded within shared libraries associated with the class loader of an application server.
