If you write a client application, the JAR files in the client folder are what you include in the client's classpath. A client application is any application that communicates with services in JBoss AS (such as web services, EJBs, messaging, etc) but is running in its own JVM (that is, is not deployed inside JBoss AS).

thanks for the quick response.

So client application needs to be on the same machine in order to include the client-jars  in the classpath.Correct?

do you know of any example client applications.

thanks again.

No, the client can be on a differentm achine. You would then copy the client directory, or the JARs in that directory, to the other machine.

>>do you know of any example client applications.

JBoss in Action (http://www.manning.com/jamae) includes a number of example client applications for web services, EJBs and JMS.
