Is it possible to deploy a JCA resource adapter (rar) that references a shared library, inside the OpenLiberty server? What is the server.xml configuration snippet for this? I looked at the JCA docs for Liberty and found nothing on the topic... My guess is something like this, but not sure:
<library id="mySharedLib">
<fileset dir="${server.config.dir}/odb" includes="*.jar" />
</library>
...
<resourceAdapter id="myrar" location="${server.config.dir}/jca/my.rar">
<properties.myrar conf="${server.output.dir}/jca/odb-server.xml"/>
<classloader commonLibraryRef="mySharedLib"/>
</resourceAdapter>
Here's link to the schema for resourceAdapter which shows you can use classloader with a commonLibraryRef as you described. Something like the following:
<library id="MyLib">
<fileset dir="/some/dir" includes="sharedlib.jar"/>
</library>
<resourceAdapter id="AdapterForMe" location="${server.config.dir}/connectors/RA.rar">
<classloader commonLibraryRef="MyLib"/>
</resourceAdapter>
