Multiple JVM in same machine

[Mohd Fuzail]

If we run two java application on same machine, will both of them will be having differrent JVM?

If we are having two instances of ecllipse running on same machine, each of them are having their own JVM or they are sharing one JVM ?

Please direct me the link where i can find more information about this issue

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

Each instance of the program "java.exe" on Windows is a separate JVM. If you start any two Java-based processes on your computer, they will each be running in their own JVM , whether they be Eclipse or anything else.

Hopefully this is enough information for you; I can't imagine what sort of link would provide any more information than that.

Moving to Java in General (Beginner).

Thanks Ernest for the information.

Can provide any online tutorial link or specification which talks in details about multiple JVM

If you have some specific question, just ask it, please. But there is no such thing as "an online tutorial about multiple JVM."

I did my SCJP way back in 2001 and i was surprised to know that this multiple JVM issue i never read or encountered till date

So i was wondering if some book or specification talks about each java.exe program invoking and running in it's own JVM

Sorry for streching the issue, but i need to read and go in details about this issue

What issues? What details? What did you expect your SCJP study materials to go into?

If there's some specific question you have, please ask it. But there is no "SCJP Guide to Multiple JVMs" any more than there is an "SCJP Guide to Spelling 'int'." Once you know the answer, you know it -- there's nothing more to it!

are you trying to have two different VERSIONS of java on your pc at the same time?

or do you simply want to have two JVMs running at the same time? the second is easy. go to your command prompt and type "java <class>", which will start up a JVM and your program.

then, while that program is running, type "java <class>", and start another program running. this will then start up a second JVM. you will then have two JVMs running until one of your apps shuts down.

Hi,

I have a question on that...


When we need to call a method of ObjectB in Jvm2 from a client ClassA which is in another jvm Jvm1.. We need to use RMI ...

Does the same apply to 2 Jvms running in the same machine and sharing same memory (RAM)..

Can we create sample RMI code and test it on the same machine ??

[Campbell Ritchie]

Two JVMs cannot run and share memory. Each has its own heap, in different areas of RAM.
You would need to use sockets, multiple agents, RMI or similar to access code on different JVMs. You can try it out with two JVMs on the same machine, yes.

Thanks Campbell..

Can you please help with some basic material/link on this subject.

I want to write a simple class object in one jvm calling the method of another object in another jvm .. Both Jvms are on the same machine..

Thanks ..

You could start by googling for something like java rmi tutorial.

[Abhineet Kapil]

Thanks Jeff ..

Will follow that...
