The deployment descriptor file is the main Java Network Launcher Protocol (JNLP) descriptor file for the client application. If it is a Thin Application client application, then the launcher class uses the current JVM from the Application Clients run-time dependency and invokes the Thin Application client application main method.
Here is an example of the JNLP descriptor file for a Thin Application client application.
