How to create a client jar in websphere without having the server running???

Hi,

I have a requirement for my R&D which seems to be tricky.

I want to create a client jar for an EJB application.

Consider that i have an EJB application and its jars with me. I just need to create a client jar for that EJB application.

To create it, i need the server to be running. But my requirement is that, i have to create the jar without having the server started.

I tried few stuffs but the adminclient creation tries to create a SOAP connector port at a specified address which is failing for me.

PS: I am trying this expt on Windows platform

Any help greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance

Rgrds Jegan.
