Deploying application clients

Using the Management Console, you can export application clients from EAServer to deploy them on a client machine. You can import application clients into EAServer as part of a J2EE EAR file or an EAServer JAR file. Typically, you may want to import the EAR file, edit the application client properties, export the JAR file, and deploy and run the application on a client machine.

For information about creating, configuring, and running application clients, see Chapter 4, “Creating Application Clients,” in the EAServer Enterprise JavaBeans User’s Guide.

StepsDeploying application clients

  1. Highlight the Application Clients folder, right-click, and select Deploy.

  2. The Deploy wizard guides you through the process of deploying the application client.

  3. The Deploy wizard reads the archive file and creates the application client. Any errors are displayed in the status window. Review the status information, then click Close.

StepsExporting an application client

  1. To export an application client, create an export configuration that includes the application client—see Chapter 7, “Exporting Server Modules.”

NoteIf you make changes to EJB references, resource references, or environment properties after you export the application client, you must export the client again to update the export file.
