User can't easy run J2EE application client for remote server in NetBeans 5.5. A workaround is deploy J2EE application in remote server, change target server for J2EE application in local server and update $SERVER_HOME/domains/domain1/config/sun-acc.xml and set remote hostname: <target-server name="remoteserver" address="remote_server" port="3700"/>
Wrong component.
