Sharing libraries between applications

By default the libraries for applications contain Java modules are defined in the deployment element for each application. For example:

      <application name="Aircraft">
        <deployment>
           <lib url="aircraft.jar" />
        </deployment>
        ...
      </application>

However each application using a different ClassLoader, you will have exceptions if these applications share object types datas.

In that case, if some jar files are common to several applications, a deployment element can be put at the top of the applications elements children. For example:

      <applications>
        <deployment>
           <lib url="commonLibrary.jar" />
        </deployment>      
        <application name="Aircraft">
           <deployment>
              <lib url="aircraft.jar" />
           </deployment>
        ...
        </application>
        <application name="Cockpit">
           <deployment>
              <lib url="cockpit.jar" />
           </deployment>
        ...
        </application>   
      </applications>
