B4J Question How can I get the server app to report back to jshell that it launched ok.

[Jmu5667]

Hello

I have a B4J launcher to launch a web server app using jShell. How can I get the server app to report back to the launcher that the app loaded successfully and is running. Is there a stdout method or some other way of doing this.

Currently the launcher is reporting back 'timeout' after 10 seconds, see code below.

Sub btnLaunch_Click
   
   btnLaunch.Enabled = False
   btnKill.Enabled = True
   shl.Initialize("shl", "java", Array As String(txtjarALPN.text,"-jar", txtJarApp.text))
   shl.WorkingDirectory = txtJarWorkingDir.text   
   shl.Run(10000) 'set a timeout of 10 seconds
   
End Sub

Regards

John.

You should set the timeout to -1 to disable it. Otherwise it will kill the server after 10 seconds.

Also see Shell.RunWithOutputEvents.
