Another variation of my previous posting (see below) can be expressed as 
follows:

Is it possible to detect from within a Java app if a Mathematica Kernel 
is already running and after that connect to it? If yes, how?

I would enormously appreciate it if somebody could point me to an 
example or document that will shed some light on this, or, 
alternatively, share his/her experience on the subject.

Thanks greatly,

-john michopoulos
