Choosing a type of client
A client provides the framework for client applications that run separately from your application server.
About this task
A usual first decision to make is do you want a client application that runs on Java EE or J2SE?. This leads you to choose from the main types of clients, as described in this topic. Otherwise, if you want to run an ActiveX program, or a Java applet, to interact with enterprise beans on WebSphere® Application Server, your decision is only for one of those types of client.
