Application client projects contain programs that run on
networked client systems. An application client project is deployed
as a Java™ archive (JAR) file.
About this task
Assemble a client module to contain client application code.
Group enterprise beans, Web components, and resource adapter code
in separate modules.
Use an assembly tool to assemble an application
client module in any of the following ways:
- Import an existing application client JAR file.
- Create a new application client module.
Procedure
- Start an assembly tool.
- If you have not done so already, configure the assembly
tool for work on Java Platform, Enterprise Edition
(Java EE) modules. Ensure that Java EE capability is enabled.
- Migrate application client JAR files created with the Assembly
Toolkit, Application Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to an
assembly tool. To migrate files, import your application
client JAR files to the assembly tool.
- Create a new client application.
- Verify the contents of the new client application in either
of the following ways:
- In the Project Explorer view, expand Application Client
Projects and view the new module.
- Click Window > Show View > Navigator to see the
associated files for the application client module in a Navigator
view.
What to do next
After you finish assembling all of your application's
modules, you are ready to deploy your application.
