JAVA APPLICATION FAULT TOLERANCE TOWARDS UNSAFE NATIVE CODE INVOCATION USING PROCESSBUILDER

An application can be crippled by a memory leak of one of its component. Unfortunately, access to the source of a referred component for rectification is often not feasible. This paper presents experience of using multi-processing as a strategy to contain the problem. We demonstrated the use of Java ProcessBuilder to protect application from unstable JNI-wrapped native code. The technique discussed can help design of applications that provide better fault tolerance.
