There is only one client application for this exercise, Client_61. It’s modeled after the example in Chapter 6 of the EJB book. It will use information you supply in the command-line parameters to create Customer EJBs in the database.

To run the client, first set your JBOSS_HOME and PATH environment variables appropriately. Then invoke the provided wrapper script. You must supply data on the command line, specifiying a primary key, first name, and last name for each Customer. For example:

Client_61 777 Bill Burke 888 Sacha Labourey

For the sample command, the output should be:

777 = Bill Burke
888 = Sacha Labourey

The example program removes the created beans at the conclusion of operation, so there will be no data left in the database.
