Configure class loaders and libraries

Overview

By default Java EE applications load...

• Specification APIs, include servlet and IBM APIs
• Internal classes and libraries

If we override the default settings, we cannot deploy the application by dropping it into the "dropins" directory.

Configure class loading

1. Use a Java library
   
2. Share a library across applications
   
3. Provide global libraries
   
4. Access third-party APIs
   
5. Remove access to third-party APIs
   
6. Override a provided API with an alternative version
