Developing application clients

Before you begin

This topic provides the steps for programming application clients to access resource objects defined on the server.

Why and when to perform this task

To use application clients to access a remote object on the server, develop your application clients as described in the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Create an instance of the object that you want to access from the remote server.
  2. Specify the user ID and password on the connection method, when you create a connection to the server. Security must be enabled.
  3. Assemble the application client .ear file using an assembly tool, such as the Application Server Toolkit (AST) or Rational Web Developer. Assemble the application client .ear file on any development machine where the assembly tool is installed.
  4. Add the resource to the client deployment descriptor by completing the binding JNDI name for the resource object on the server.
  5. Distribute the configured .ear file to the client machines.
  6. Deploy the application client.
  7. Configure the application client resources.

What to do next

After you develop the application client code, run the application client.
