I am using JRI with the situation that the Java code (for prediction ) is a
desktop aplication which is being initiated by the ./run script in rJava
(within the JRI subfolder). This means that the R engine is being started by
the script and then the java code is initiated.

This is ok in working for the desktop application. But since we are going to
develop an online service - I have to reprogram the code in JSP etc. However
this means I cannot use the JRI run script (since the code has to be
initiated by tomcat).

So I would like to start the engine from within the Java Code (JSP). I have
tried this - but this is not recommended by the author of JRI. My attempts
have failed till now. I can forward the exact code and the details of the
errors.

Cheers
Surajit
