Application Client for WebSphere Application Server

Application Client for WebSphere Application Server is the package that we can use to install a variety of clients. Application Client also forms the runtime for Java EE clients and Java thin clients on a system that does not have the Application Server installed.

The Application Client for WebSphere Application Server is packaged with the following components:

• (dist)(zos) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (or an optional full Software Development Kit) that IBM i provides.
