The runtime container enables the application client to look up EJB and resource references. The container also provides security and authenticates the client when the application is started.
Run application clients using the script run-appclient.bat (on Windows) or run-appclient.sh (on UNIX). The script takes the following arguments:
-client <appclient_name | appclient_jar | application_ear> [ -name <appclient_name> [-login <boolean>] [-systemProperties propsFile]
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Required, to specify one of the following:
|
|
When you specify an application EAR file
for the -client C:\apps\myapp.ear -name myappclient |
|
If you specify true for this option, the script prompts the user for login credentials. If you do not specify this option, the default is false. |
|
Specifies the name and path to a file that contains InitialContext property settings for the client. For example, to specify a user name and password, create a file that contains this text: java.naming.security.principal=Guest java.naming.security.credentials=Guest123 An alternate way to specify properties is to configure an EJB or JMS provider on the General tab properties for the client—see “General tab”. |
This example illustrates the command-line syntax to start an application client’s runtime container, where my_client is the name of the client. On Windows, the command is:
runclient -client my_appclient -login true
On UNIX, the command is:
runclient.sh -client my_appclient -login true
