Accept and running a sample XML application
We can use the IBM WAS XML thin client, the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar file, to build a sample XML application. We can also use the API documentation to improve your understanding of the XML API.
- Install the product.
- Locate the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar file.
We can find the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar file in your installation tree; for example:
- (Windows) WAS_HOME\runtimes\com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar
- (AIX)
(Solaris) WAS_HOME/runtimes/com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar
To see how to build and use an application, refer to the sample application that is packaged with the product.
Follow this procedure when you build and run a sample XML application.
Procedure
- For build time, include the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar file in the build-time class path while developing your sample XML application.
Also, attach the API documentation from the javadoc directory that is inside the com.ibm.xml.thinclient_8.0.0.jar file.
The results of these actions are shown in the following image:
When complete, the application should compile; and when using context completion, you should have access to the API documentation as shown here:
- Deploy the application.
