Does Glassfish or applications require a restart after deploying a shared library?

Question

If I have a glassfish application that depends on a shared library that is running, I deploy the shared library again with updates, do I have to restart the application that depends on that shared library or will the application pick it up?

I found an article that answers my question.

It makes sense that you have to restart the server or redeploy the application with the --libraries option in order for the class loader to execute to pick it up the new changes.
