This page provides a starting point for finding information about application clients and client applications. Application clients provide a framework on which application code runs, so that your client applications can access information on the application server.
For example, an insurance company can use application clients to help offload work on the server and to perform specific tasks. Suppose an insurance agent wants to access and compile daily reports. The reports are based on insurance rates that are located on the server. The agent can use application clients to access the application server where the insurance rates are located.

Deploying a client application depends on installing appropriate supporting files on the client machine, usually some configuring actions, and adding the program files for the client application. When the client application has been deployed, the application can run.
You can manage resources for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application clients by using the Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT).
