You can configure some properties on clients by overriding
the properties that are set on the servers. You can override these
properties in the client properties file or programmatically.
Configuring Java clients
You can configure WebSphere® eXtreme Scale to
run in a stand-alone environment, or in an environment with WebSphere Application Server. For a WebSphere eXtreme Scale deployment to pick
up configuration changes on the server grid side, you must restart
processes to make these changes take effect rather than being applied
dynamically. However, on the client side, although you cannot alter
the configuration settings for an existing client instance, you can
create a new client instance with the settings you require by using
an XML file or doing so programmatically. When creating a client,
you can override the default settings that come from the current server
configuration.
