Deploying a Client Application That Uses a Java Proxy
To deploy a client application that uses a Java proxy, you must first perform the following steps in the specified order on the system where you plan to run the application:
- Copy the required files for the client application and proxy to the deployment system:
- Copy the client application.
- Copy the proxy
.class
files to a directory that mirrors the package hierarchy specified in ProxyGen during the generation of the proxy. The package name implies a directory structure that you must maintain when you copy the proxy. You can also put the class files into a .zip
or.jar
file, as with any other Java classes.- Install a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Many platforms already come with a JVM. For more information on the available Java run-time environment (JRE) for your platform, see the sections on Java requirements in the in the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows or the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX .
- Copy the Open Client Runtime package to any directory on your system. For more information, see the "Selecting an Open Client Runtime Package" section.
- If you are using HTTPS, copy your digital certificates to the location required by the Open Client application. For more information, see the "Managing Digital Certificates" section.
- Update the CLASSPATH setting for the Java environment that will run the client application and proxy to include the:
- Client application classes.
- Directory containing the proxy (
.class
files) or the.zip
or.jar
file. Remember that for class files, this is the directory above the package hierarchy.NOTE: The mechanism to update the CLASSPATH setting depends on the Java environment that you are using. For instructions on updating the CLASSPATH, see the documentation for your Java environment.- Open Client Runtime package that you copied in Step 1.
- Run your Java Open Client application as designed.
