Developing Pluggable application client code

As you prepare to install the Pluggable application client, remember that pluggable clients are only available on Windows systems.

The WebSphere Application Server default
messaging provider is only supported in the client container. Therefore the default messaging provider is not supported for use with pluggable application clients or thin application clients.

1. Install the Pluggable application client by selecting option Pluggable Application Client from the Custom client installation panel.

2. Set the Java application pluggable client environment by using the setupClient shell, located in:

   install_root\AppClient\bin\setupClient.bat 

3. Add your specific Java client application JAR files to the CLASSPATH and start your Java client application from this environment, after setting the environment variables.

4. Run the following Java command to invoke your client application:

   "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %WAS_LOGGING% -Djava.endorsed.dirs="%WAS_ENDORSED_DIRS%" -Djava.security.auth.login.config="%WAS_HOME%\properties\wsjaas_client.conf"
   -classpath "%WAS_CLASSPATH%;<list of your application jars and classes > -Djava.ext.dirs=%WAS_EXT_DIRS% 
   -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop://<your WebSphere server machine name > 
   -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory 
   %SERVER_ROOT% %CLIENTSAS% <fully qualified class name to run>
