java - JVM Embedded into C, does not appear under running programs -

i have c program (working in solaris sparc), creating jvm , calling java application via jni.

the jvm created , java program works expected, don't see java process ps -ef | grep java command.

any idea reason?

@apangin , @the8472 both correct, not find java process anywhere, using jni_createjavavm embedding jvm functionalities in process.

i'll try give evidence of through references documentation (jni sparsely documented i'll try).

from jni specification:

creating vm

the jni_createjavavm() function loads , initializes java vm , returns pointer jni interface pointer. thread called jni_createjavavm() is considered main thread.

and few lines below:

the attached thread should have enough stack space perform reasonable amount of work.

this confirms jvm instance lives in same context invoked jni's createjavavm method, no external dedicated process.
