Configuring Java clients

You can configure WebSphere® eXtreme Scale to run in a stand-alone environment, or in an environment with WebSphere Application Server. For a WebSphere eXtreme Scale deployment to pick up configuration changes on the server grid side, you must restart processes to make these changes take effect rather than being applied dynamically. However, on the client side, although you cannot alter the configuration settings for an existing client instance, you can create a new client instance with the settings you require by using an XML file or doing so programmatically. When creating a client, you can override the default settings that come from the current server configuration.
