Adding jars for a ServletFilter

Kevin Creason (11●2●3) | asked Jan 04 '17, 4:30 p.m.
I am running 6.0.3 on linux with the default liberty.
I'd like to add some Jar files for our SSO servlet filter agent.
I've tried putting them in the JTS_HOME/server/liberty/wlp/lib directory but it complains that it cannot find the filter class.
I've also tried putting them in the JTS_HOME/jre/lib/ext and endorsed directories, and while it sees the servlet filter classes, it cannot find the javax.servlet.Filter class.
[ERROR   ] SRVE0315E: An exception occurred: java.lang.Throwable: javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter [Cams Servlet Filter Web Agent]: com.cafesoft.security.webagent.servletFilter.CamsServletFilterWebAgent was found, but is missing another required class.

    at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp.handleRequest(WebApp.java:4913)
    at [internal classes]
Caused by: javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter [Cams Servlet Filter Web Agent]: com.cafesoft.security.webagent.servletFilter.CamsServletFilterWebAgent was found, but is missing another required class.

    at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.filter.WebAppFilterManager._loadFilter(WebAppFilterManager.java:639)
    ... 1 more
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.servlet.Filter

Do I have to add the classes to each of the apps? Or is there a better place? Or is this not possible with this version of java?

Maybe the approach mentioned here?

Thanks, that looks like it could be helpful but I'm missing a lot of background information. I'm trying to catch up. Would this be added into the server.xml, it has a featureManager block:
    <!-- Enable features -->
    <featureManager>
        <feature>monitor-1.0</feature>
  
        <feature>appSecurity-2.0</feature>
        <feature>adminCenter-1.0</feature>
    </featureManager>

While I parse and find out what I need to know, how about making classes shared from one app to another?
I was able to add the jars do the demo app and have liberty deploy it and verify it works. I was shown this link, but I don't think this liberty server has a console like shown.
Note, I deployed my demo app manually, should I have used the installUtility to add it?

Two more approaches you could try.
Adding global libraries to all applications: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSRTLW_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.nd.multiplatform.doc/ae/twlp_classloader_global_libs.html

This looks very helpful!
I'm looking at the global libraries option--
So, my server.xml is mostly high-level protocol. The applications are defined in a conf/application.xml.
The applications are WARs not EARs, and do not have a classloader section already, so when I add this section, will I be breaking anything existing?
<server><library id="cams"><fileset dir="/opt/ibm/JazzTeamServer/lib" includes="*.jar" /></library>
<application type="war" id="jts" name="jts" location="${server.config.dir}/apps/jts.war">
<classloader apiTypeVisibility="spec" commonLibraryRef="cams" />
<application-bnd>
<security-role name="JazzAdmins">
                <group name="JazzAdmins" />
     </security-role>
... etc ....      </application-bnd>
    </application>

I received the following error trying simple setup above:
[ERROR   ] CWWKL0008E: Application [cams#cams.war] cannot use the common class loader for library [cams] because they have inconsistent API visibility configurations. Library [cams] is configured with [[spec, ibm-api, api]] and application [cams#cams.war] is configured with [[spec]].
