Develop Thin application client code on a client machine

 

Before you begin

You must install the Thin application client from the Application Client for WAS installation before performing this task. For more information, see Developing thin application client code.

 

Procedure

1. Set the Java application thin client environment by using the setupClient shell, located in: Windows systems

      install_root\AppClient\bin\setupClient.bat
   

   UNIX platforms

   install_root/AppClient/bin/setupClient.sh
   

2. Run the following Java compilation command to compile your client application. On Windows systems, enter

   "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac" -classpath "%WAS_CLASSPATH%; 
   <list of your application jars and classes> " -extdirs %WAS_EXT_DIRS% 
   <your application class>.java
   

   On UNIX systems, enter

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac -classpath "$WAS_CLASSPATH: 
   <list of your application jars and classes>" -extdirs $WAS_EXT_DIRS 
   <your application class>.java
   

3. Run the following Java command to invoke your client application: On Windows systems, enter

   "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %WAS_LOGGING% -Djava.security.auth.login.config="%WAS_HOME%\properties\wsjaas_client.conf"
   -classpath "%WAS_CLASSPATH%;<list of your application jars and classes> -Djava.ext.dirs=%WAS_EXT_DIRS% 
   -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop://<your WebSphere server machine name> 
   -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory 
   %SERVER_ROOT% %CLIENTSAS% <fully qualified class name to run>
   

   On UNIX systems, enter

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $WAS_LOGGING 
   -classpath "$WAS_CLASSPATH: <list of your application jars and classes> -Djava.ext.dirs=$WAS_EXT_DIRS 
   -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop://<your WebSphere server machine name> 
   -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory 
   $SERVER_ROOT $CLIENTSAS <fully qualified class name to run>
