Re: Java execution on IBM i

Hi,

I have a question regarding the execution of java programs on IBM i.

I'm a bit confused.

I always thought that it was a good idea to execute java programs/functions
within one server job. The requesting job sends a message to the server
job, and the server job executes it. This way, the JVM is initialized only
once. I believe Dieter even has a framework to do this.

However, as i understand it. If i use command JAVA or RUNJVA to execute a
java app it is executed within a separate BCI job. I suppose (maybe i'm
wrong) this BCI job keeps running after the command has been executed. Next
time the command is executed the same (or another already initialized) job
executes the java function.

My confusion is why is it a good idea to implement a dedicated Java server
job yourself, like Dieters framework, as this seems to be already working
like that when using RUNJVA?

What am i missing?
