The <strong>Application</strong> Client for <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Version 7.0 consists of<br />

the following client components:<br />

► Java EE application client application<br />

This component uses services provided by the Java EE Client Container.<br />

► Thin application client application<br />

This component does not use services provided by the Java EE Client<br />

Container and includes a JVM API.<br />

► Applet application client application<br />

This component allows users to access enterprise beans in the <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> through a Java applet in a HTML document.<br />

► ActiveX® to EJB Bridge application client application<br />

This component uses the Java Native Interface (JNI) architecture to<br />

programmatically access the JVM API (Windows® only).<br />

Web server support<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> can work with a Web server (like the <strong>IBM</strong> HTTP<br />

<strong>Server</strong> included in <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> packages) to route requests<br />

from browsers to the applications that run in <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong>. A<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> Web <strong>Server</strong> Plug-in is provided for installation with supported Web<br />

servers. This plug-in directs requests to the appropriate application server and<br />

performs workload balancing and fail-over among servers in a cluster.<br />

1.2.5 Advanced tooling and extensions<br />

This section discusses <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> tooling and extension<br />

enhancements.<br />

<strong>Application</strong> development and deployment tools<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> includes the Rational® <strong>Application</strong> Developer<br />

Assembly and Deploy V7.5 software platform, which is a set of tools based on<br />

Eclipse that allows you to develop and deploy Java EE 5 applications. It includes<br />

scripting tools to be used with <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong>. <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is also compatible with Rational <strong>Application</strong> Developer for<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> Software V7.5, which is available separately and fully exploits<br />

capabilities within <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> as a Java EE 5<br />

application development and deployment tool.<br />

Note: Rational <strong>Application</strong> Developer Assembly and Deploy V7.5, Rational<br />

<strong>Application</strong> Developer V7.5 for <strong>WebSphere</strong> Software, and their differences are<br />

explained in 1.5, “Related products” on page 23.<br />
