WebLogic Server Command Reference

## ClientDeployer

You use `weblogic.ClientDeployer` to extract the client-side JAR file from a J2EE EAR file, creating a deployable JAR file. The `weblogic.ClientDeployer` class is executed on the Java command line with the following syntax:

>     java weblogic.ClientDeployer ear-file client

The `ear-file` argument is an expanded directory (or Java archive file with a .ear extension) that contains one or more client application JAR files.

For example:

java weblogic.ClientDeployer app.ear myclient

where app.ear is the EAR file that contains a J2EE client packaged in myclient.jar.

Once the client-side JAR file is extracted from the EAR file, use the weblogic.j2eeclient.Main utility to bootstrap the client-side application and point it to a WebLogic Server instance as follows:

java weblogic.j2eeclient.Main clientjar URL [application args]

For example

java weblogic.j2eeclient.Main helloWorld.jar t3://localhost:7001 Greetings
