Deploying J2EE application clients on workstation platforms

After developing an application client, deploy this application on client machines. Deployment consists of pulling together the various artifacts that the application client requires.

The Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT) defines resources for the application client. These configurations are stored in the client .jar file within the application .ear file. The application client run time uses these configurations for resolving and creating an instance of the resources for the application client.

Note: This task only applies to J2EE application clients. Only perform this task if you configured your J2EE application client to use resource references.

1. Start the ACRCT and open an EAR file.

2. Configure new data source providers.

3. Configure mail providers and sessions.

4. Configure URL providers and sessions.

5. Configure Java messaging resources.

6. Configure new environment entries.

7. (Optional) Remove application client resources.

8. Save the EAR file.
