Run the IBM Thin Client for XML

The IBM Thin Client for XML with WebSphere Application Server allows applications to take advantage of IBM XML technology components in a simple Java environment. Such applications can directly access the XML API to process XPath, XQuery, and XSL in a Java SE runtime environment. We can bundle the Thin Client for XML library with the application using the WAS installation. The Thin Client for XML also extends the choice of Java SE runtime environment. It can be run in IBM Java Runtime Environments (JREs) packaged with WAS as well as in the Windows and Linux JREs from Oracle Corporation, the JREs that are downloaded from the Oracle Corporation website, or the JRE that is downloaded from the HP website.

Before we can use the API provided by the Thin Client for XML you must obtain the Thin Client for XML JAR file. This can be accomplished by installing WAS. The Thin Client for XML JAR file, com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar, is located in the app_server_root\runtimes directory.

Copy the JAR file, com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar, to other machines to enable access to the XML API. Copies of the Thin Client for XML are subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement for the WAS v8.5 product from which you obtained the Thin Client for XML. Refer to the license agreements for correct usage and other limitations. The Thin Client for XML with WAS runs on distributed operating systems with Java SE Development Kit (JDK) support, including Java 6.0 and Java 7.0.

Run the Thin Client for XML by completing this procedure.

Invoke the client application.

Run the following Java command:

java_install_root\bin\java
-classpath com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar;list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes
fully_qualified_class_name_to_run
java_install_root/bin/java
-classpath com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.5.0.jar:list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes
fully_qualified_class_name_to_run
