Separate process?

[Blake McBride]

Greetings,

I am very interested in using ErgoAI in my Java application. Currently I am using Jess.  My main problem with Jess is its closed-source model.  However, many of its features fit well with my needs.

I am using Jess in a milti-threaded web application.  Again, Jess fits my use-case well in terms of its integration and support of my application architecture.  I want to better understand how ErgoAI integrates with a mutli-threading Java application.  

The first question I have involves the basic archetechure of the system as it relates to a multi-threading Java application.

Looking over the ErgoAI docs, it appears that ErgoAI runs in a seperate process from my Java application.  Is that true?  Is that always true?

I will have several other questions that depend on the answer to this question.

Thank you very much!

Yes, ErgoAI would run as a separate process. They can communicate via files or via xsb's socket interface.
The Java interface is based on sockets, but the Python interface is different.
Here Python and ErgoAI run in the same process.

Thanks for the response, Michael.

My application is a multi-threaded one.  The logic capabilities of the system need to have a common base and then a thread-specific independent context.  Is that easy to do with ErgoAI?

Thanks!

You can create several ErgoAI processes that threads would talk to using load balancing. But you will have to invent some protocol to keep the knowledge base in sync .
