Hi,

I'm working on a application manager for embeded platform based on the CVM PhoneME VM. The VM is started by a C++ app which configures the CVM and then triggers the VM itself. This C++ app is called form the command line passing the main class name and the classpath of a java application. There is a main java app (lets call it Manager) which loads the app using classloaders. I want this manager to be a single instance application so it could track all running apps.

In other words: The first time I start an app (app1 for instance), the VM will launch and the Manager will load the app1. In further calls to load other apps (app2, app3 and so on), the same instance of the Manager would load those apps.

The manager is working fine, except for the fact that this is not a single instance.

Is it possible to do what I want?

I found this: http://www.knowledgesutra.com/forums/topic/59760-how-to-implement-single-instance-application-on-java/

This is almost the same I want, except for the app loading part. However, the necessary packages are not available in the CVM implementation.

Thanks very much.
