JBoss 5 and common jar library location

[qwteam]

Hi, I'm new to JBoss so I don't know what this feature is called in JBoss.

With the bea weblogic 10, there is a feature that lets you store common jars on the server. The benefit for the feature was each different war/ear files don't have to include the jars but instead include a config file pointing to the common jars and reduces the size. Is there a feature like this in JBoss 5?

Thanks

By default all libraries in the server/xxx/lib and server/xxx/deploy directory are shared between all applications, allowing for easy sharing.

See http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4132028 for a little more detail.
And the jbossas documentation has even more details: http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossas/freezone/docs/Server_Configuration_Guide/beta422/html/JBoss_JMX_Implementation_Architecture-The_JBoss_ClassLoader_Architecture.html
