For a J2EE application client application and or Thin application client application to be launched using Java Web Start (JWS), the library JAR files bundled in Application Client for WebSphere Application Server must be installed in the Java Web Start. Use this tool to build those JAR files. The Java Web Start client is used with platforms that support a Web browser.
The Java Web Start client is not supported on WebSphere Application Server for OS/400.
The buildClientRuntime tool builds the required components from the WebSphere Application Server clients installation into the JAR file specified on the command. This JAR file contains:
In the case of building an Application Clients run-time JAR file only for serving Thin Application client applications and not for J2EE Application client applications, the run-time library JAR files and the Application Clients run-time properties files are not included, except the configuration files, sas.client.props, ssl.client.props and soap.client.props, located in the WAS_ROOT/properties directory. The Java Web Start client is used with platforms that support a Web browser. The command-line invocation syntax for the buildClientRuntime tool is shown in the following example:
Windows Usage: buildClientRuntime .bat jar_file [type]
Unix Usage: buildClientRuntime.sh jar_file [type]
Where:
jar_file
Timearget jar file name.
Range:
buildJ2EE - Default value that builds a Application Clients
run-time library for J2EE application.
buildThin - Builds a Application Clients run-time library
for Thin application.
