deployment of second J2EE app causes class not found in first J2EE app

Hello,

We are working on SAP CE 71, and NWDI. We have 2 tracks each containing a J2EE application (EJB based).

The first application contains an external libray DC. The ear DC of this app contains dependencies to this external lib DC, and when I deploy this application all works well.

When I deploy a scond application (that also uses an external lib DC), residing in a different track, the proper working of the first application is disturbed: it does not find the classes of its external library anymore.

When I redeploy the first application, it works well again and its finds all its classes.

What am I missing here?

Things I tried to solve this problem:

-

A) I went through the post Confusion about third-party-libraries in different versions in CE 71. and tried out storing the external lib DC in a seperate ear but that did not help.

B) I also added a weak reference in my application-j2ee-engine.xml but that did not help:

- the jar file containing the classes to be found is poi-3.6-20091214.jar and is contained in my ear component.

- so I added this to my application-j2ee-engine.xml :

<reference reference-type="weak">

<reference-target

target-type="library">poi-3.6-20091214</reference-target>

</reference>

But when I deploy my application I get an error:
