I'm not sure what you're saying here, Fred.  What I want is to be able
to start an application or call a class from RPG and in either case use
a JVM that is already started.  I would then have access to all the
objects in that JVM (which I could share among jobs through a static
member in a class).
--- end of excerpt ---

I guess what I'm trying to understand is that if you're really stuck on 
the "job" or "application" constructs,
and where does threading sit in relationship to something that might be a 
solution for you?

Would it be sufficient for you to run a new thread (instead of a new job) 
in your existing application,
have it attach itself to the already existing JVM (also in the same job) 
and thereby communicate with 
the already running Java code and objects being used by the "first" 
thread? 
Then, repeat as necessary to some knee in the curve of scaling or 
management graph..

Or is this not really an option in your case because you really have the 
need for multiple JOBs to
do the main work?
