Hello, again, Martin.
A couple of added notes...
Marina mentioned that toplink-essentials.jar will need to be in the
classpath. That's true and in addition the appclient command and the
Java Web Start support in GlassFish takes care of that for you
automatically. I need to double-check that the Java Web Start piece
does so correctly in 9.0 b48 which is what you are using. The current
code base definitely includes it, and the app client command has
included that JAR for some time so you should be okay there.
You should not see any difference between specifying -mainclass on the
command line and omitting that option and specifying Main-Class in the
manifest of the app client jar. Either way should work.
One other detail, following up on Sahoo's comment: Annotations in app
clients work only on items declared in the main class and they must be
static, not instance, items. It is the Java EE spec that imposes this
restriction, so the app client container honors it.
