Class JavaMethodToProcessWrapper

java.lang.Object

ai.libs.jaicore.processes.JavaMethodToProcessWrapper

public class JavaMethodToProcessWrapper
extends java.lang.Object

This class outsources the call to an arbitrary method into a separate process. This is specifically relevant if you work with libraries that do no respect the interrupt-functionality. Using this wrapper should allow you to conveniently interrupt any method you like. There are of course some drawbacks one must consider: - Execution is MUCH slower compared to execution in a local thread (up to a factor of 10) - all items (target object, inputs, and the expected output) must be serializable - communication with the executed logic is highly limited - no call by reference possible. If the routine to be outsourced needs to update the object on which it is invoked, encapsulate the logic first into a method that returns the object. - there may be strange side effects, e.g., if the subprocess loads libraries manually, this may happen very often and flood temp directories in the file system
