Migration tips for thin or pluggable application clients

The Java invocation used to run thin (non-J2EE) application clients has changed in WAS Version 5. You must specify -Xbootclasspath/p:%WAS_BOOTCLASSPATH% on Windows systems or -Xbootclasspath/p:$WAS_BOOTCLASSPATH on Unix systems when you invoke the Java command. Set the WAS_BOOTCLASSPATH environment variable in one of the following ways:

• On a WAS client installation for a Windows 32-bit workstation:
  C:\WebSphere\AppClient\bin\setupClient.bat

• On a WAS client installation for an AIX or Solaris workstation:
  . /usr/WebSphere/AppClient/bin/setupClient.sh

• On a WAS installation for a Windows 32-bit workstation:
  C:\WebSphere\AppClient\bin\setupCmdLine.bat

• On a WAS installation for an AIX or Solaris workstation:
  . /usr/WebSphere/AppClient/bin/setupCmdLine.sh

For more information about using -Xbootclasspath, you can view sample code after you perform the application client installation. The sample code is at the following location:
