A java SE client which runs through the ACC on Glassfish to access EJB's.
Use the appclient command to launch the Application Client Container and invoke a client application that is typically packaged in an application JAR file. The application client JAR file is specified and created during deployment by the Administration Console or the asadmin deploy command with the --retrieve option. You can also retrieve the client JAR file using the asadmin get-client-stubs command. The Application Client Container is a set of Java classes, libraries, and other files that are required to execute a first-tier application client program on a Virtual Machine for the Java platform (JVM machine). The Application Client Container communicates with the server using RMI-IIOP.
