Weblogic war files and libraries

If your web application requires some 3rd party libraries for the platform Weblogic, there are common used 2 different ways for running your application with including this archive files.

First one is adding this libraries to the classpath of Weblogic Server.

Second one is making definition in the weblogic.xml file of your project.
For instance:

  <container-descriptor>
    <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
  </container-descriptor>

And for more information:

If you've to use  3rd party jars with different versions, i think second way is better.
