Hi,

that would be a great idea. Say, you have an 
Mathematica Kernel that
does a 3 week symbolic computation and during this time
several Java application connect to the kernel and hinder
it to do it's work.

Your Java application may create a link
and you can take a running kernel and tell the kernel
to connect to the link generated by your Java 
application.

Regards
  Jens

below) can be expressed as

|
| Is it possible to detect from within a Java app 
if a Mathematica Kernel

If yes, how?
|

could point me to an

this, or,

subject.

| Thanks greatly,
