RE: Calling Java from RPG

Thanks Joe..

At the moment I'm looking more into what the capabilities of the RPG-Java
bridge and WAS are.. but I've documented this design pattern for future use
- I'm sure that I will need it! 

I would like to see the system to be able to recognise that a Java class has
been put under the control of a container and serve any request for that
class out of the container.. It can't be that hard if Microsoft managed it
with MTS/COM+ <g>

Exactly!  If you need persistence between calls, you'd have to create a
session object and then pass an identifier back and forth with each
call, but a server job is the only way I know of to force the use of a
specific JVM.

It would be nice to be able to "attach" to a JVM that was already
running anywhere in the system.  We've been asking for this forever, but
the folks at IBM insist it's too hard to do.
