By default, Java™ EE applications do not have access
to the third-party APIs available in Liberty.
You can also remove access explicitly in the server.xml
file, or an included
file.
About this task
In the following example, an application called Scholar
has previously been configured to access third-party
APIs, as described in Accessing third-party APIs from a Java EE application. You want to remove this access, and to make it explicit in the
configuration that the application now uses the default access setting.
The application also uses a common library called Alexandria
. This library is in the ${server.config.dir}/mylib/Alexandria directory.
Procedure
- Configure class loading for the application, to show that
the application can no longer access the third-party APIs.
In the
server.xml
file, or an included file, remove
third-party
from the set of values included for the apiTypeVisibility
attribute:
<application id="scholar" name="Scholar" type="ear" location="scholar.ear">
<classloader apiTypeVisibility="spec, ibm-api, stable" commonLibraryRef="Alexandria" />
</application>
- Optional: If the application uses any common
libraries, set those libraries to use the same API type visibility
setting.
In the
server.xml
file, or an included file, add the following
code:
<library id="Alexandria" apiTypeVisibility="spec, ibm-api, stable">
<fileset dir="${server.config.dir}/mylib/Alexandria" includes="*.jar" scanInterval="5s" />
</library>
