Deploy and run a Java EE client application

Use the launchClient command to run a Java Enterprise Edition (EE) client application in an Application Client installation or in a WebSphere Application Server node. Alternatively, we can use Java Web Start on a remote client machine to download and run a Java EE client application, including Thin client application, with a single click from a web browser on that machine.

Tasks

1. Deploy and run a Java EE client application for use with the launchClient command.

   After deploying a Java EE client application onto a machine with an Application Client installation or in a WAS node, we can start the application using the launchClient command on that machine.

   1. Deploy the Java EE client application

   2. Start the Java EE client application

2. Deploy and run a Java EE client application using Java Web Start.
   1. Prepare the Java EE client application ready to be deployed by remote action.

   2. Use Java Web Start on a remote client machine to download and run the Java EE client application.
