Assembling Application Client Modules
If you want to use existing J2EE 1.2 Web modules in your J2EE 1.3 application, migrate them to J2EE 1.3 first.
Note: This task only applies to J2EE application clients. Assemble a client module to contain application client code. (Group enterprise beans, Web components, and resource adapter code in separate modules).
- Start the Application Assembly Tool (AAT).
- From the New tab, select Application Client. Click OK. The navigation tree now displays various sets of properties for configuring the new application client.
- (Optional) Use the property dialog shown in the AAT workspace to change the default file name and location.
- It is recommended that you change the display name so that it differs from the file name.
- If you like, change the temporary location of the application client from the default location, $WAS_HOME/bin .
- Enter the main class filename and location.
- Click Browse to locate the class file.
- Select the archive containing the class files, and click Select.
- Select the files you need from the archive, and click OK.
