Develop application clients
This topic provides the steps for programming application clients to access resource objects defined on the server.
Overview
To use application clients to access a remote object on the server, develop your application clients as described in the following steps:
Procedure
- Create an instance of the object to access from the remote server.
- Specify the user ID and password on the connection method, when you create a connection to the server. Security must be enabled.
- Assemble the application client .ear file using an assembly tool. Assemble the application client .ear file on any development machine where the assembly tool is installed.
- Add the resource to the client deployment descriptor by completing the binding JNDI name for the resource object on the server.
- Distribute the configured .ear file to the client machines.
- Deploy the application client.
- Configure the application client resources.
What to do next
After you develop the application client code, run the application client.
