JEE Application Client deployment plan

JEE application client modules run in client container and also have access to server environment. Usually, JEE client applications are created to administer the running enterprise applications in the server. Client modules run in a separate JVM and connect to enterprise application resources but have access to all the application resources in standard JEE way.excerpt

The JEE client module requires application-client.xml as deployment descriptor and geronimo-application-client.xml as deployment plan. In the application-client.xml, the required ejb names, security role names, resources names etc., are declared while in geronimo-application-client.xml, the declared names are mapped to actual resources in server.
