Use Third-Party Frameworks with Oracle Java Cloud Service
You can use third-party frameworks that conform to the Java EE and Java SE standards to extend the functionality of Oracle Java Cloud Service.
You can use each supported framework with Oracle Java Cloud Service in one of the following ways:
- Packaging the framework with applications that use it
- Deploying the framework as a shared library
For more information, see Deploy and Undeploy Applications for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance.
If multiple applications use a framework, or if you want to simplify updates by minimizing the size of applications that use the framework, deploy the framework as a shared library.
