Hi,

I am getting an error while trying to refer Static Library from Shared Library.
Quote:

Shared library 'Shared_library_Name' can not reference static library 'static_library_Name '. A shared library can only reference other shared libraries.


Do we have any specific reason not to reference Static Library from Shared Lib?
If I want to invoke message sub flows (from Shared Lib), which is not going to change, do I need to put that code inside shared lib. I can not make them a part of Static Lib and refer them from shared lib.
Please Help. I am using IIB10.0.0.1
Thanks.

I am not now nor have I ever been part of the IBM development team, but if it was me I'd ask myself how I'd reference a static library that's part of an application from a shared lib if there's was multiple copies of the library in different applications (how do I know which one to access, and how do I know they're all the same?) or what to do if I was a shared library being deployed to an EG that didn't have an application with the static library deployed.

Shared libraries can only use resources from other shared libraries.
So yes - if you want to call the code from a shared library, then you need to put that code inside a shared library.

One reason (of several) is that there are several types of resource that you can have in a static library that you cannot have in a shared library.
Allowing a shared library to reference a static library would break those restrictions.
For example, a shared library cannot contain .msgflow (message flows or pre-V8 style subflows) files - but a static library can.

Thanks Stoney and Vitor... It does make sense for me. I was thinking from jar file prospects only. but Shared Vs Static lib have lot of other things, due to that it makes them to put separately.


One more thing, I observed is that: If I have one jar file, which is used by both Shared Library and Application. So even shared lib is used by Application, but still I need to add this jar file at both places ( Shared Lib and Application).

You may also be able to add the JAR file to a classloader - particularly a JavaClassLoader configurable service.
