Run a Java thin client application on a client machine

To run a Java thin client application on a machine with Application Client for WAS installed, use the setup Client command then start the application.

Before performing this task, install the Java thin application client from the Application Client for WAS installation.

1. Set up the client application environment. Run the setupClient command.

   (Windows)

   app_client_root\AppClient\bin\setupClient.bat
   

   
   [AIX] [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris]

   app_client_root/AppClient/bin/setupClient.sh
   

2. Run a Java command to invoke the client application.

   (Windows)

   "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %WAS_LOGGING% -Djava.security.auth.login.config="%WAS_HOME%\properties\wsjaas_client.conf"
   -classpath "%WAS_CLASSPATH%;&ltlist_of_my_application_jars_and_classes>" 
   -Djava.ext.dirs="%JAVA_JRE%\lib\ext;%WAS_EXT_DIRS%;%WAS_HOME%\plugins;%WAS_HOME%\lib\WMQ\java\lib" 
   -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop:
   //&ltmy_application_server_machine_name> 
   -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory 
   "%SERVER_ROOT%" "%CLIENTSAS%" "%CLIENTSSL%" &ltfully_qualified_class_name_to_run>

   [AIX] [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris]

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $WAS_LOGGING 
   -classpath "$WAS_CLASSPATH: <list_of_my_application_jars_and_classes>" 
   -Djava.ext.dirs=$JAVA_JRE/lib/ext:$WAS_EXT_DIRS:$WAS_HOME/plugins:$WAS_HOME/lib/WMQ/java/lib"
   -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop:
   //<my_application_server_machine_name> 
   -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory 
   $SERVER_ROOT $CLIENTSAS $CLIENTSSL <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>
