I need to call a Java Application from C-Program..only option available is to invoke Java Virtual Machine.
But this JVM is invoked for every request & get destroyed after request is fulfilled.

In my application there may be Concurrent Request(of the volume of hundreds) to Java Program.

So,how Invocation of Java Virtual Machine is handled ?

Has JVM capability to handle concurrent invocation?

Is there any Persistent Java Virtual Machine available which keeps running ?
