Building Your Event-Driven Architecture : Integration Server Administrator’s Guide : An Overview of the Server : How the Server Loads Java Classes : How Class Loading Works : Class Loading Process
Class Loading Process
 
Scenario One: Integration Server Knows Where the Class Lives
Scenario Two: Integration Server Does Not Know Where the Class Lives
Scenario Three: Package Class Loader Does Not Defer to the Integration Server Class Loader
As stated earlier, the class loading process is affected by a number of factors, including the following:
*Whether a package uses its own class loader or defers to the Integration Server class loader.
A package's manifest.v3 file controls a number of characteristics of a package, including whether the package's class loader defers to its parent class loader. The default is to defer to the parent class loader. However, Integration Server will use the package class loader instead, if the following is specified in the manifest.v3 file:
<value name='classloader'>package</value>
If you use the package class loader, the jar files containing the classes you want to make available must be in the Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\packages\packageName\code\jars directory. For more information about using a package class loader, refer to Using a Package Class Loader.
*How Integration Server searches for a class when no package information is available.
When the Integration Server receives a request to load a class for which no package information is available, by default, it will search all packages in the Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\packages directory. To potentially save search time, you can control the order in which packages are searched by using the watt.server.classloader.pkgpriority server configuration parameter.
The following sections provide scenarios that describe how the class loading process works, and how the changes to the manifest.v3 file and watt.server.classloader.pkgpriority server configuration parameter affect that process.
