jvm
Hi everyone!
I'm a student of computer science, not exactly quite new to java, but also not an expert.
This week in a lecture about operational systems our Professor explained us about some of the basic paradigmas in the OSes such as different kernels, modes, process states and threads.
Now the question he couldn't exactly answear me was, whether by killing some child process or thread (like stopping some java applet or java app) is an System call, made indirectly from the user mode of the operating system, or not.
Well i personally admiit everything started by java IS threads, and only the JVM is a process itself. However i'm not quite certain.
Can anyone hier answear me answer and perhaps give me some information where can i read more about the interactions of java with the OS.
I admit it acts differently on different operating systems, does it?
Regards
