Standalone Client application

[vanduyns]

I deployed an EAR package on Jboss 3.2.6/Jdk 1.4.2/Windows. This EAR contain

- a jar file for EJB
- a war file for webapp
- a jar file for Client application (to access EJB)

My client application have a application-client.xml file on META-INF:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE application-client PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application Client 1.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/application-client_1_3.dtd">

<application-client>
<display-name>ExampleClient</display-name>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/GestionClient</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
com.leroymerlin.refclient.back.service.GestionClientHome
com.leroymerlin.refclient.back.service.GestionClientRemote
<ejb-link>GestionClient</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>
</application-client>

a jboss-client.xml file (META-INF)

<!DOCTYPE jboss-client PUBLIC
"-//JBoss//DTD Application Client 3.2//EN"
"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-client_3_2.dtd">

<jboss-client>
<jndi-name>ExampleClient</jndi-name>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/GestionClient</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/GestionClient</jndi-name> <!-- ejb (implements SessionBean) -->
</ejb-ref>
</jboss-client>

a manifest file specifying the Main-Class to run.

Does the Main-Class must be specifying on application client manifest file or ear manifest file ?

Do you have a sample command launch ?

Read the 4.0.x docs

OK, now my client application run when i launch a Standard Java command like this:

java -classpath xxx.jar;myJarFileClient.jar myMainClass

But it seams not possible on Jboss to launch a command (as Sun J2EE) like this

runclient -client xx.ear

or something that doing the same thing. I prefer to deploy one ear containing the jar client instead of deploying ear AND jar client file.

Have you got an other solution ?
