The Application Client Wizard helps you create an application client,
provide a JAR, and generate a
from the information that you enter in the Wizard. It bundles the
application client into a JAR file, and prepares it for deployment on
the server based on the settings in the generated deployment
descriptor.
Uses of Wizard Dialogs
In addition to the creation of new application clients and JAR files,
the Application Client Wizard offers additional screens for providing
settings and configuration parameters for the created elements.
These settings and parameters can be conveniently provided by selecting a
created file or component in the file view of the Deployment Tool and
selecting the appropriate tab to access similar functionality in a tabbed pane.
Other Application Client JAR and Component Functionality
Already created JARs and Application Clients can
be added to an application by using the Application Client JAR icon in
the second group of icons on the tool bar of the primary screen of the
Deployment Tool. Updating and deployment of the application are
accomplished using the third set of icons on the tool bar. Finally, check the
correctness of the components and files of the application using the verifier
tool from the Tools menu.
Using Wizard Screens
At any point in the process you can do any of the following:
Click Back to review or edit the settings in the previous dialog
boxes.
Click Next to advance to the next dialog box.
Click Cancel to abort the creation of the deployment descriptor.
None of the settings gets saved.
Click Help to display context-sensitive help for the current
dialog box.
Result From Wizard
The later screens of the Wizard offer the user the options to do the following:
Click Finish to complete the specification of the deployment
descriptor.
Click Back to review or edit the settings from the previous
dialog boxes.
After Finish has been clicked, the deployment descriptor can be reviewed
at any time by selecting the application client or JAR file from the
Deployment Tool tree and choosing Descriptor View from the Tools menu.
