Create a Liberty application client with multiple client modules

We can create a Liberty application client with multiple client modules using the javaeeClient-7.0 feature. These directions also apply to configurations that use the javaeeClient-8.0 feature.

We can specify more than one client application (packaged in a client module) in the application EAR file. If we would like to package multiple client applications in the same EAR file, use the defaultClientModule attribute in <enterpriseApplication/>.

Specify the client to run by updating the defaultClientModule attribute in both the client.xml and server.xml files.

<client>
    <featureManager>
        <feature>javaeeClient-7.0</feature>
    <featureManager>

    <enterpriseApplication 
        id="MultipleAppClientModules" 
        name="MultipleAppClientModules" 
        type="ear" 
        defaultClientModule="HelloAppClient.jar" 
        location="MultipleAppClientModules.ear"/>
</client>

Important: We can run one application at a time.
