Running a Java thin client application on a client machine
To run a Java thin client application on a machine with Application Client for WAS installed, use the setup Client command then start the application.
Before performing this task, install the Java thin application client from the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server installation.
- Set up the client application environment. Run the setupClient command.
app_client_root\AppClient\bin\setupClient.bat
(zos)
app_client_root/AppClient/bin/setupClient.sh
(iseries) Use the setupClient script.
- Start the Qshell environment. On the CL command line, run the STRQSH command.
- On the Qshell command line, run the following command using the dot (.) operator:
. app_client_root/bin/setupClient [-profileName profileName]
- Run a Java command to invoke the client application.
"%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="%JAVA_JRE%\lib\ext;%WAS_EXT_DIRS%;%WAS_HOME%\plugins;%WAS_HOME%\lib\WMQ\java\lib" -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop://<your_application_server_machine_name> -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory "%SERVER_ROOT%" "%CLIENTSAS%" "%CLIENTSSL%" <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>For information about IIOP and corbaloc URLs, see Develop applications that use JNDI.(zos)
