APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The LaunchClient code called from launchClient.sh does
not return a proper return code in an unsucessful invocation
of the LaunchClient code.
This happens for instance after an unsuccessful deployment (EAR
not deployed).  Subsequent calls to launchClient always return
"success" (rc=0), despite the application is not installed.

****************************************************************
J2EE Application Client Launcher (launchClient.sh) returns
rc=0 even when unable to start the client application.  This
happens, for instance, after an unsuccessful deployment (EAR not
deployed).  Subsequent calls to launchClient always return
"success" (rc=0), despite the fact that the application is
not installed.

This is a defect in the client.
Problem conclusion
J2EE Application Client Launcher has been corrected to provide
a non-zero return code to indicate a failure.

APAR PK12187 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502035 of
