I'm writing a program which needs to do the following things:
1. Open a connection to a message-passing system which communicates
via SysV IPC.
2. Invoke a JVM and instantiate some GUI objects (i.e. the AWT not-on-
mail-thread rule applies).
3. Listen for messages on IPC, and convert them into appropriate Java
method calls (and do them).
4. Cleanly disconnect from the IPC system when the program quits.
I started with the simpleJavaLauncher sample program and have
something which performs requirements 1-3. However, it does not
disconnect on exit.
So, I've been looking into how I can capture the "quit" event and
write an appropriate handler. Thus far, I've found the Carbon
function "InstallApplicationEventHandler", and have had some success
in seeing the kHICommandQuit message in a separate test program.
However, this seems to require the Carbon run loop invoked by
"RunApplicationEventLoop", rather than CoreFoundation's CFRunLoopRun.
Unfortunately, if I don't use CFRunLoopRun in main, my program hangs
when the secondary thread tries to instantiate the first Java GUI
object.
Is there a way that I can capture the Quit message in the CFRunLoop,
or invoke the JVM with the Carbon loop? (Or even better, does cmd-Q/
Quit menu item generate a BSD signal I can capture before my program
dies?)
I've done lots of Java programming and lots of Unix programming, but
this is my first foray into Carbon, so please be gentle ;).
Thanks,
Jamison Hope
