Hi, We've implemented a Swing client using the RMIInitialContext factory. The rmi context factory allowed us to make several connection attempts ie a user mistypes the password. We were unable to get the same result from the application client factory but that doesn't mean it won't work.
In order to make your ejbs work without putting the jar files in orion lib is to add to the class-path variable in the manifest file for you ejb-jar file. Basically add a line similar to the following to a manifest file: Class-Path: jar1.jar, jar2.jar Then when creating the ejb-jar file make sure you include the manifest and jar files listed in the manifest. Hope this helps. Todd Darcy Schultz wrote: >I'm trying to create a Java Swing Client that will communicate with Session >EJBs running in Orion.
