Application Clients for WebSphere
Application Server follow several programming models with unique requirements
and suitability for different types of applications. Most of these models
are only available when you install the product. For a list of supported
products and version information, see the Supported Prerequisites Web site.

ActiveX programs to access WebSphere Enterprise JavaBeans through a set of
ActiveX automation objects.

platforms only)
- The applet client provides a browser-based Java run time capable of interacting
with enterprise beans directly, instead of indirectly through a servlet.

Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
