Re: starting JVM is slow

Hi
Calling RPG programs from java is very stable and i am
using it in production envoirnment, also stored
procedures in RPG program which return resultset
cursor  is also possible and using it in production
envoirnment.
I know writting a new application in one language is
the best way to do, but it is often not possible to do
it, so have to mix different languages to get
advantage of each language.

So far i am able to call java programs from RPG and
create PDF file etc, and just wanted to find way if i
can improve the process,
