running java program from a shell script

[kiran kiran]

Hello,
I want to know the internal process of running a java program from shell script. I want to run a java program (residing in iPlanet webserver) from the shell script. Will the shell script invoke a seperate JVM to run this java program? What happens internally? Anybody please explain.
Thanks
Kiran

Nobody on this forum is capable of explaining this?

Maybe we didn't think the question sufficiently interesting and/or thought you would probably figure out the answer yourself.
If you start a Java program from a shell script you get a new JVM instance just like if you started it from a command line. Unless by "residing in iPlanet webserver" you mean a servlet, in which case it naturally runs in the servlet engine JVM.
