Why and when to perform this task
The J2EE specification requires support for a client container that runs stand-alone Java applications (known as J2EE application clients) and provides J2EE services to the applications. J2EE services include naming, security, and resource connections.You are ready to run your application client using this tool after you have:
Steps for this task
install_root/bin/launchClient.bat
The launchClient batch command starts the application client run time, which:
Parameters that are not EAR files, or usage requests, or that do not begin with the -CC prefix, are ignored by the application client run time, and are passed directly to the application client program.
The launchClient command retrieves parameters from three places:
You can override the BootstrapHost value by invoking launchClient command with the following parameters:
launchClient myapp.ear -CCBootstrapHost=abc.midwest.mycompany.comYou can also override the default by specifying the value in a properties file and passing the file name to the launchClient shell.
Security is controlled by the server. You do not need to configure security on the client because the client assumes that security is enabled. If security is not enabled, the server ignores the security request, and the application client works as expected.
Example
launchClient-CC-CCverbose=true classpath=c:\mydir\util.jar;c:\mydir\harness.jar;c:\production\G19 \global.jar BootstrapHost=abc.westcoast.mycompany.com tracefile=c:\WebSphere\mylog.txt
