    app_client_root/AppClient/bin/setupClient.sh
  2. Run a Java command to invoke your client application.
    [Windows]
    "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %WAS_LOGGING% -Djava.security.auth.login.config="%WAS_HOME%\properties\wsjaas_client.conf"
    -classpath "%WAS_CLASSPATH%;<list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes>" 
    -Djava.ext.dirs="%JAVA_JRE%\lib\ext;%WAS_EXT_DIRS%;%WAS_HOME%\plugins;%WAS_HOME%\lib\WMQ\java\lib" 
    -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop://<your_application_server_machine_name> 
    -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory 
    "%SERVER_ROOT%" "%CLIENTSAS%" "%CLIENTSSL%" <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>
