Problem on exiting application called using JNI from Delphi

Question

I am calling a java function in Delphi 7 using JNI. When start button click the java application loads and when stop button clicks the java application exits. But my problem is that when I click stop button, the java application and the delphi application exits. I need to exit the java application only and not the delphi application.

var
  exit_code: Integer;
  Runtime  : TJavaRuntime;
begin
  exit_code := 0;
  Runtime.CallExit(exit_code);
end

Answer 1

Runtime.exit() calls Runtime.halt() which forcibly terminates the JVM process. Unfortunately the JVM (jvm.dll) is running in the same process as your application, so the call of Runtime.exit() terminates your application.
