Hi Tim, this is all very confusing... I don't understand everything myself. Here are my guesses: A "pure stand alone Java Application" is a java class which remotely accesses an EJB - just a plain java class. An "application client" is a J2EE component. It's a java class packed in an EAR and configured by an application-client.xml file (see doc <<Blueprint>> at Sun "Designing Enterprise Applications with the J2EE", chapter 7.2.5).

What is the difference between an "application client" and a "pure stand alone Java Application"?
