<h1 class="topictitle1">Threads considerations for Java language </h1>
<div><p>You can take advantage of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> kernel
threads using the <span class="filepath">java.lang.Thread</span> class. Java™ threads
operate on top of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> kernel
threads model. Each Java thread is one of many tasks that runs
in the process.</p>
<div class="section"><p>You can do all of the activities that are listed in the Threads
Management section.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The Java virtual machine (JVM) always creates
several threads to perform services such as Java garbage collection. The system uses
these threads; applications should not use them.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can use native methods to access system functions that are
not available in Java. Native methods are not *PGM objects. They are
procedures that are exported from Integrated Language
Environment<sup>®</sup> (ILE) service programs (*SRVPGM). These native methods always
run in processes that are multithreaded so they must be threadsafe. The ILE
COBOL, RPG IV, CL, C and C++ compilers are threadsafe. </p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Not
all standard C and C++ functions are threadsafe. Refer to the <a href="../rzahg/rzahgcandcplus.htm">C and C++</a> topic in
the information center.</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>When it is necessary to call an ILE program (*PGM) object, use <span class="filepath">java.lang.Runtime.exec()</span> to
start another process in which the program can run.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Use <span class="cmdname">exit()</span> and <span class="cmdname">abort()</span> with
care. These functions end the application, including the process and all the
threads that run in the process.</p>
