  • 1.  Clarity on Class loader

    Posted Sun July 05, 2015 04:26 AM
    Hello All,

    I read that Bootstrap class loader loads the core java classes from jre/lib directory and Websphere Extensions class loader loads from jre/lib/ext path.

    I googled about this and came to know extension class loader loads the actual websphere itself till WAS 6.0. From 6.1, websphere is packaged as OSGi bundles. These bundles inturn have their own class loader. So, what's the role of Extension class loader in WAS?

    Could someone please shed some light on what classes are loaded by extensions class loader?

    Gabriel and all - looking for a response. Thank you in advance.
