Re: Quick "hopefully" question on JVM, RUNJVA, etc...

I have a question that I hope isn't too hard to answer. I've seen
conflicting information on this, and am curious.

If I have an RPG program than runs a Java Class using the RUNJVA command,
does this or does it not start and stop the JVM each time this is called
causing a LOT of extra overhead, or does it start the JVM the first time and
end it when the job ends?

Now, lets assume I am calling the same class/method in an RPG program
instead of using RUNJVA... same question. Does this start and stop the JVM
each time, or just start it the first time, and end the JVM when the job
itself ends?

I want if all possible to stay away from using a NEP for this.

I think you'll see where I'm going with this... performance issues with
Java. :)
