Run the IBM Thin Client for XML
The IBM Thin Client for XML with WAS allows applications to take advantage of IBM XML technology components in a simple Java environment. Such applications can directly access the XML API to process XPath, XQuery, and XSL in a Java SE runtime environment. We can bundle the Thin Client for XML library with the application by using the WAS installation. The Thin Client for XML also extends the choice of Java SE runtime environment. It can be run in IBM Java Runtime Environments (JREs) packaged with WAS as well as in the Windows and Linux JREs from Sun Microsystems., the Sun Microsystems JREs that are downloaded from the Sun Microsystems website, or the JRE that is downloaded from the HP website.
Before you can use the API provided by the Thin Client for XML obtain the Thin Client for XML JAR file. This can be accomplished by installing WAS. The Thin Client for XML JAR file, com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar, is located in...
WAS_HOME\runtimes
Copy the JAR file, com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar, to other machines to enable access to the XML API. Copies of the Thin Client for XML are subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement for the WAS WAS v8 from which you obtained the Thin Client for XML. Refer to the license agreements for correct usage and other limitations. The Thin Client for XML with WAS runs on distributed operating systems with Java SE Development Kit (JDK) support, including v1.5 and v1.6. Run the Thin Client for XML by completing this procedure.
