Hi,
I have 2 applications referring to a common library.
I deployed the applications and library individually in my broker.
Now , I made change in my library and deployed the library alone.
My expectation is as the 2 applications referring to the common library and as per the manual the applications need not redeployed again if there is any common change required,I thought the changes done in the common library will be reflected to the applications internally.
But,this has not happened.
Rather,if I rebuild the application and redeploy the application,then the library changes are reflected.
Then,what is the use of library function?why there is a feature in WMB8 that we can deploy the library alone individually?
If I am hitting this in the wrong direction,please correct me... |

Hi,

| If a library is referenced by an application, a copy of the referenced library is isolated at run time from resources outside the application. This copy of the library is not visible to resources outside the application |
so you need to rebuild and redeploy all applications related to the libraries.
There is also one RFE with same requirement as you.

If libraries are included by copy (which they currently are), then when you change the library you have to make a conscious choice to pick up those changes in all applications that use the library.
If libraries are included by reference (which they currently are not), then when you change the library, you have to take special and extra effort to regression test that change for everything that uses it before you can deploy it anywhere.
It would be nice for the lab to make this a choice that can be taken by the customer.
But I doubt I will ever choose to include things by reference. |

Great! Glad to hear you got it all resolved.
Did you rebuild and redeploy to get it to work?

| No..It has not worked for me..We have found that this functionality is not present in WMB .Hence in the RFE community we have voted for the same Enhancement request. |
