WAS v8.5 > Reference > Developer detailed usage informationClientLauncher class
The class, com.ibm.websphere.client.installer.ClientLauncher, contains a main() method that is called by Java Web Start (JWS) to launch the client application. The Java Web Start client is used with platforms that support a web browser.
This client is packaged in the WebSphereClientLauncher.jar file located in the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server installation under the <app_client_root>/ lib/webstart directory.
The launcher class requires the following properties are defined. These properties are not defined in a separate properties file. Instead, the properties are defined as part of the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) files.
- com.ibm.websphere.client.launcher.main
- If the client application is a Thin Application client, then this property should be specified. It specifies the class where the main entry point of the client application resides.
- com.ibm.websphere.client.launcher.ear
- If the client application is a Java EE Application client, then this property should be specified. It specifies the name of the EAR file to be executed. This property takes precedence over com.ibm.websphere.client.launcher.main. However, only one of the two properties should be specified.
