Application Client for WebSphere® Application Server is the
package that you can use to install a variety of clients. Application Client
also forms the runtime for Java EE clients and Java thin
clients on a system that does not have the Application Server installed.
The Application Client for WebSphere Application Server is packaged
with the following components:
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (or an optional
full Software Development Kit) that IBM® provides.
- The Java extensions needed to work with the iSeries® server Java (TM)
Development Kit. The i5/OS® product does not include a stand-alone JRE.
- The runtime environment for Java EE client applications (that use services
provided by the Java EE Client Container)
- The runtime environment for Java thin client applications (Java SE
applications that do not use services provided by the Java EE
Client Container)
- An ActiveX to EJB Bridge for ActiveX programs to access
enterprise beans through a set of ActiveX automation objects. (Windows® only)
- IBM plug-in for Java platforms for Applet client applications
(Windows only)
- A variety of stand-alone thin clients, as embeddable JAR files
- A pluggable client, as a version of the Java thin client to use the Sun JRE and
Software Development Kit (Windows only). The Sun JRE has to be
the same version as the IBM JRE.
