Run a Java thin client application on a server machine

To run a Java thin client application on a machine with WebSphere Application Server installed, use the setupClient command then start the application.

You must install WAS before performing this task.

1. Set up the Thin application client environment.

   Use the setupCmdLine shell.

   app_server_root\bin\setupCmdLine.bat

   Use the setupCmdLine shell.

   app_server_root/bin/setupCmdLine.sh

2. Run the application client.

   Perform one of the following methods:

   • Run a Java command to call your main class directly.

     "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %WAS_LOGGING%" 
     -Djava.security.auth.login.config="%USER_INSTALL_ROOT%\properties\wsjaas_client.conf" 
     -Djava.ext.dirs="%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext;%WAS_EXT_DIRS%;%WAS_HOME%\plugins;%WAS_HOME%\lib\WMQ\java\lib" 
     -Djava.naming.provider.url=<an_IIOP_URL_or_a_corbaloc_URL_to_your 
     application_server_machine_name> -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory 
     -Dserver.root="%WAS_HOME%" "%CLIENTSAS%" "$CLIENTSSL" %USER_INSTALL_PROP% 
     -classpath "%WAS_CLASSPATH%;<list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes>" 
     <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run> <your_application_parameters>

   • Enter a command to use the WAS launcher.

     "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %WAS_LOGGING%
     -Djava.security.auth.login.config="%USER_INSTALL_ROOT%\properties\wsjaas_client.conf"
     -classpath "%WAS_CLASSPATH%;<list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes> -Djava.ext.dirs="%WAS_EXT_DIRS%;%WAS_HOME%\plugins"
     -Djava.endorsed.dirs="%WAS_ENDORSED_DIRS%
     -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop://<your_application_server_machine_name> -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory  
     %SERVER_ROOT% %CLIENTSAS% %CLISENTSSL% <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>

   Perform one of the following methods:

   • Run a Java command to call your main class directly.

     "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" $WAS_LOGGING
     -Djava.security.auth.login.config="$USER_INSTALL_ROOT/properties/wsjaas_client.conf"
     -Djava.ext.dirs="$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext:$WAS_EXT_DIRS:$WAS_HOME/plugins: $WAS_HOME/lib/WMQ/java/lib" 
     -Djava.naming.provider.url=<an_IIOP_URL_or_a_corbaloc_URL_to_your 
     application_server_machine_name> -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory
     -Dserver.root="$WAS_HOME" $USER_INSTALL_PROP "$CLIENTSAS" "$CLIENTSSL"
     -classpath "$WAS_CLASSPATH:<list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes>"
     <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run> <your_application_parameters>

   • Enter a command to use the WAS launcher.

     "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" $WAS_LOGGING
     -Djava.security.auth.login.config="$USER_INSTALL_ROOT/properties/wsjaas_client.conf"
      "-Dws.ext.dirs=<list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes> $WAS_EXT_DIRS:$WAS_USER_DIRS" 
     -Djava.naming.provider.url=<an_IIOP_URL_or_a_corbaloc_URL_to_your 
     application_server_machine_name> -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory  
     "-Dserver.root=$WAS_HOME" 
     "$CLIENTSAS" "$CLIENTSSL" $USER_INSTALL_PROP -classpath "$WAS_CLASSPATH" 
     com.ibm.ws.bootstrap.WSLauncher 
     <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run> <your_application_parameters>
