Use this page to search for information about class loaders visible to a Web module (.war file) or enterprise bean (.ejb file) in an installed enterprise application. This page helps you diagnose problems with class loaders.
To view this administrative console page, click Troubleshooting > Class Loader Viewer > module_name > Search.
On the Search page, we can search class loaders for the following:
- Specific strings
- Specific .jar files
- The names of files in a specific directory
- The names of files loaded by a specific class loader
- Search String
Specifies the string to be found in the items searched.
The search is case-sensitive. Thus, if the search string is classname, the string ClassName is not found.
Also, the search does not support the use of regular expressions or special characters used for pattern matching. Thus, the search does not support wildcard (*) characters. Searches such as Web* can result in the finding of no Web strings. Instead, type the string Web to search for Web, WebResource, WebPermission, and similar strings that contain Web.
- Search Type
Specifies the type of items in which to search for the string.
