how to run a remote Enterprise Client Application without ant

In Netbeans, I clicked an Enterprise Application Client, added a few source code files and a jndi.properties file. It runs with the expected output, just echoing the properties file to the console. How would I deploy this application onto a different computer?

This application is intended to invoke an EJB remotely. At the moment, I’m simply trying to understand the packaging. I don’t see an EAR file. In any event, as it’s just a client, I would hope to see just a JAR and specifically not an EAR file.

The application is named RemoteLookup and seems to result, as I would expect, in RemoteLookup.jar. What is RemoteLookupClient.jar? It looks to have the critical sun-application-client.xml file:

which is all well and good, but how do I do that on a computer not running glassfish? I infer that this script depends upon glassfish, whereas I want to strictly do a RMI on a @remote EJB across the network — that is, remotely. What exactly are the JAR dependencies for this EJB client app? I understand that it may need some classes from Glassfish , but it doesn’t seem to package those dependencies as a JAR in a lib folder as I would expect.

Why does running the project this way not result in an exception, whereas running the JAR directly gives errors? What’s the difference — “ant run” starts glassfish as well as runs the app?

The client shouldn’t need Glassfish, if this is indeed starting Glassfish…

When I try to run the JAR directly, I just get:

Which I interpret to mean that because Glassfish isn’t running that there’s a connection problem. In and of itself, that’s fine, Glassfish isn’t running and there’s nothing deployed to it anyhow.

However, why the inconsistency?
