It's pretty simple.
(1) Web Start
You can enable Web Start for your application (to be found in the admin
GUI). Then, from your client's browser, click on the link shown in the
browser. It will download the client container and the client and run
it.
To run it, just double click the link that it created.
(2) Standalone Client Container
Alternatively you can install client container and client on each remote
machine manually. One way is: Use asadmin's --retrieve . option when
deploying. It will load a JAR file containing the application client.
The client container can be obtained by the command "package-appclient"
(to be run on the server once). The result is a file "appclient.jar".
You must unpack it on all remote client machines using jar -xf
appclient.jar. Set JAVA_HOME to your JDK root on the client, and append
%JAVA_HOME%\bin to PATH. Using your editor of choice edit the file
appclient\config\asenv.bat: AS_INSTALL must point to the expanded
appclient folder, and AS_JAVA must point to %JAVA_HOME%. Also check
appclient/config/sun-acc.xml. The line <target-server> must point to the
server's host name or IP address.
To run it, do: appclient -client MyClientJar.jar

Subject: EJB and Client on Different Computers
Hi,
I am learning JEE. You gave an excellent EJB example on
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/ejb/examples/Sless.html. You
showed application client and standalone java client in the same
computer. If I want to put EJB and client on different computers, how
can I run EJB and client on different computers? Could you please tell
me how to modify it?
Thanks.
Ben
