 +-XJavaVM
Description
must be implemented by the user of the XJavaVM.

Methods' Summary
getJavaVM returns the address of the Java Virtual Machine.
isVMStarted returns true if the VM is started successfully, otherwise false .
isVMEnabled Returns true if the VM is enabled.
Methods' Details
getJavaVM
any
getJavaVM(
 
[in] sequence< byte >
 
processID );

Description
returns the address of the Java Virtual Machine.

If the VM is not already instantiated, it will be now.

If the processID is a normal 16-byte ID, the returned any contains a JNI JavaVM pointer as a long or hyper integer (depending on the platform). If the processID does not match the current process, an empty any is returned.

If the processID has an additional 17th byte of value zero, the returned any contains a non-reference-counted pointer to a (reference-counted) instance of the C++ jvmaccess::VirtualMachine class, always represented as a hyper integer. The pointer is guaranteed to be valid as long as the reference to this XJavaVM is valid (but the pointer should be converted into a reference-counted reference as soon as possible). Again, if the first 16 bytes of the processID do not match the current process, an empty any is returned.

The first form (returning a JNI JavaVM pointer) is mainly for backwards compatibility, new code should use the second form (returning a pointer to a jvmaccess::VirtualMachine ). For example, one advantage of using jvmaccess::VirtualMachine instead of the raw JavaVM pointer is that whenever you attach a native thread to the Java virtual machine, that thread's context ClassLoader (see java.lang.Thread.getContextClassLoader ) will automatically be set to a meaningful value.

If the instantiation of the Java Virtual Machine was successfull then the returned any contains a long value on a 32 bit platform and a hyper value on a 64 bit platform. The values can be cast to a JavaVM pointer. If the JVM could not be created for whatever reason then a void any will be returned.
Parameter processID
The process ID of the caller's process.
Returns
On success, a JavaVM pointer as long or hyper, otherwise the any is void.
isVMStarted
boolean
isVMStarted();
 
 

Description
returns true if the VM is started successfully, otherwise false .
isVMEnabled
boolean
isVMEnabled();
 
 

Description
Returns true if the VM is enabled.

It is only possible to get the VM, if this method return 0.
