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:
- 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)
- 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.
