Package and distribute the thin or pluggable application client

The thin application client and the pluggable application client are packaged by manually collecting appropriate JAR files and Java classes to support the client application. The enterprise beans that are used by the client application require that client side bindings are available on the client target machine. The client side bindings are available from the deployed enterprise bean JAR files.

The enterprise bean JAR files are invoked by the application. These JAR files are located in the /QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/Base/instance/installedApps/node directory, where instance is the name of your instance, and node is the node name for the instance.

WAS does not provide any tooling to assist in the distribution of the JAR files. You must manually distribute the application client JAR files to the target client machine.
