Building and running a sample XML application

Use the IBM WebSphere Application Server XML thin client, the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_9.0.jar file, to build a sample XML application. We can also use the API documentation to improve your understanding of the XML API.

1. Install the product.
2. Locate the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_9.0.jar file.

   We can find the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_9.0.jar file in the installation tree; for example:

   • (Windows) app_server_root\runtimes\com.ibm.xml.thinclient_9.0.jar
   • (UNIX) (ZOS) app_server_root/runtimes/com.ibm.xml.thinclient_9.0.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.

Tasks

1. For build time, include the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_9.0.jar file in the build-time class path while developing your sample XML application.

   Also, attach the API documentation from the javadoc directory that is inside the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_9.0.jar file.

   

   As a results, the location of the API documentation appears in the Java build path.

   

   When complete, the application should compile; and when using context completion, we should have access to the API documentation.

   

2. Deploy the application.
