Developing Thin application client code

Developing Thin application client code

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.

Why and when to perform this task

You can develop and run Java thin client applications on machines installed with either a client or a server. The client provides a setup command shell which sets up your environment for either a thin client application or a J2EE client application. The server provides a command shell which sets up your environment for J2EE application clients only. The Java invocation to run a Thin application client varies between a client and a server. If your thin client application needs to run on both a client installation and a server installation, follow the steps for developing thin application clients on a server machine.

Steps for this task

  1. Install the Java application thin client by selecting option J2EE and Thin application client from the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server installation.

  2. Perform one of the following:
