How do you run app in a Ear file that has a application-clie

[scruffy323]

I am trying to run an application in a ear file configured with application.xml specified by the testClient.jar

J2ee says that I should be able to but how do I do that with jboss?

Below is a example of what I am trying to accomplish but using another container.

PS I checked the getting started documentation and it showed a app being run using a application-client.xml file
but is only running the application using just the client jar if you check the actual ant file that is running the application. It's not using the ear file.



Below is a thread I found regarding this topic but havn't found an answer yet.

i'm trying to do the same... to bad nobody cares to answer.
but i suspect j2ee spec to be incomplete, to say the least:

-> spec J2EE 1.4, section 9.6

How an application client is invoked by an end user is unspecified. Typically a J2EE Product Provider will provide an application launcher that integrates with
the application client machine?s native operating system, but the level of such
integration is unspecified.

I just believe that the spec isn't incomplete but the implementation by jboss for this rarely used part is.

Is there a way to call an EJB from a Standalone Java Application from within Eclipse? Say I have a HelloWord Bean that outputs a simple Say Hello World Message. Is there a way to create a Java Client Application and test it from within Eclipse as a Standalone Java App that calls that Beans?

Yes, you can. Is your bean a secure EJB or is it unsecure? If its a secure EJB then you will have to do a JAAS login before accessing the bean. If its not then, a simple lookup of the remote home of the EJB and later on invoking the method on the bean will work. Note, than you can use only remote interface/home of the EJB from the standalone java client.
