Using application clients

An application client module is a Java Archive (JAR) file that contains a client for accessing a Java application.

About this task

Complete the following steps for developing different types of application clients.

Procedure

  1. Decide on a type of application client. WebSphere Application Server for z/OS does not support a separate client image. Therefore, an application client other than a thin client must run together with the client container that comes with the application server image. See http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27006921 for more information about supported platforms.
  2. Develop the application client code.
    1. Develop ActiveX application client code.
    2. Develop J2EE application client code.
    3. Develop pluggable application client code.
    4. Develop thin application client code.
  3. Assemble the application client using the Application Server Toolkit.
  4. Deploy the application client.

    [z/OS] Start the Application Client Resource Configuration Tool.

    [AIX] [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [Windows] Deploy the application client on Windows systems.

  5. Run the application client.

Example

[AIX] [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [Windows] View the Application Clients Samples Gallery for more information. To access these samples, install Application Clients, and retrieve the samples from your local file system as the following command indicates:
<app_server_root>/samples/index.html
