Developing client applications

The client application development process consists of a number of steps.

Steps for this task

  1. Decide which Web services API your client application needs to use: the Business Flow Manager API, Human Task Manager API, or both.
  2. Export the necessary files from the WebSphere® Process Server environment. Alternatively, you can copy the files from the WebSphere Process Server client CD.
  3. In your chosen client application development environment, generate a proxy client using the exported artifacts.
  4. Optional: Generate helper classes. Helper classes are required if your client application interacts directly with concrete processes or tasks on the WebSphere server. They are not, however, necessary if your client application is only going to perform generic tasks such as issuing queries.
  5. Develop the code for your client application.
  6. Add any necessary security mechanisms to your client application.
