Build and running a sample XML application

We can use the IBM WebSphere Application Server XML thin client, the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar file, to build a sample XML application. We can also use the API documentation to improve the understanding of the XML API.

1. Install the product.

2. Locate the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar file.

   We can find the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar file in the installation tree; for example:

   • app_server_root\runtimes\com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar

   • (zos) app_server_root/runtimes/com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar

To see how to build and use an application, refer to the sample application that is packaged with the product.

Follow this procedure when you build and run a sample XML application.

1. For build time, include the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar file in the build-time class path while developing the sample XML application.

   Also, attach the API documentation from the javadoc directory that is inside the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar file.

   

   The results of these actions are shown in the following image:

   

   When complete, the application should compile; and when using context completion, you should have access to the API documentation as shown here:

   

2. Deploy the application.
