Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] [DISCUSS] Mark Application Client as deprec

The reason for this is that vendor-specific remote JNDI lookup pre-dates the ACC. It’s just a very narrow set of customers that ever bothered with the ACC.

As I understand it the appclient is what Swing uses to connect to the application server. I'm now mostly retired but I can refer to the last 20+ years of development in Java/JavaEE/JakartaEE.

My hunch is that quite a lot of people confuse "plain" remote JNDI access (using some client libs and InitialContext) with the application client container. All the Swing applications I ever saw in the same last 20+ years used remote JNDI access to talk to a J2EE/Java EE server.

The actual application client container does uses this technology under the hood, but is a rather distinct thing itself.

Kind regards,
