I can see the class path from log files as
was.install.root = /IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
user.install.root = /IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01
Java Home = /IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/8.0/jre

Orb Version = IBM Java ORB build orb80-20170207.00
and I have some jar files in /WEB-INF/lib path of application server and some class files in /WEB_INF/class path .
In /WEB_INF/lib path , I have following jar files .
aopalliance-1.0.jar
commons-io-1.4.jar
jcl-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar
spring-aop-4.2.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-expression-4.2.5.RELEASE.jar
bcprov-jdk16-1.46.jar
freemarker-2.3.16.jar
log4j-1.2.14.jar
spring-beans-4.2.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-web-4.2.5.RELEASE.jar
commons-codec-1.4.jar
ibmpkcs-8.0.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
spring-context-4.2.5.RELEASE.jar

commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar
javassist-3.19.0-GA.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
spring-core-4.2.5.RELEASE.jar
I want to move javassist-3.19.0-GA.jar to shared library to avoid class conflict . I have read the steps to configure and adding the shared library in WebSphere from IBM . Now i want to know what should i write in shared library path ? Is it something like ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/WEB_INF/lib/javassist-3.19.0-GA.jar ? and should i remove javassist-3.19.0-GA.jar from /lib path?
$WAS_INSTALL_ROOT will get you as far as /IBM/WebSphere/AppServer; the closest you can get to your app binaries with a default server variable is $USER_INSTALL_ROOT, which will get into profiles/AppSrv01, and app binaries are in the "installedApps" directory within that location.
That said, pointing to the application binaries in your shared library is a very bad idea. If you don't want that jar to be loaded by the WAR class loader, then get it out of there and put it somewhere else. I would note that I don't fully understand WHY you're putting it into a shared library (what is it conflicting with?), so maybe some clarification would help with that as well.
