RE: Can the JVM be restarted?

["Wills, Mike N. (TC)" <MNWills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was doing that, but I was still having the problems. Not sure. I did get
everything to finally work. So I guess I won't have to worry about this
anymore.

Are you signing off and back on again with each Java/RPG compile?  I always
make sure to do that just so I know nothing is hanging on to my job
(objects, references, etc).

Sooooo, if the job ends, the JVM ends. Okay... Well, I don't know what was
going on, but all the sudden it worked after running the DMPJVM command I
found.

The JVM doesn't end with the RPG program.  On V5R1, where you can end the
JVM with the destroyJVM API, you could end the JVM in an RPG program, and
then start another one in the same program.  Or you could end your first
program (LR or not, makes no difference), and call another program to use
the same JVM.

One exception: on V5R1, ending an activation group ends the JVM, so if your
program is a *NEW AG program, the JVM does end when the program ends.

On V5R2, ending an AG doesn't end the JVM; you have one JVM for the lifetime
of your job.
