My Requirement -
I need to deploy a Java webservice in a server which internally executes a R scipt file. I googled about various solutions for calling R from Java and the best were rJava and Rserve. Using Rserve I can call R function BUT as I am running this in Windows it can not handle multiple requests at a time and I dont want to switch to Linux.
[Edit]
What I tried - I have used rJava to call a R function :
String[] args = new String[3];
args[0] = "--quiet"; // Don't print startup message
args[1] = "--no-restore"; // Don't restore anything
args[2] = "--no-save";
String rFilePath = "D:/Dataset_Info/AI-KMS_v2.0/tika/src/main/resources/HSConcordance.R";
Rengine engine = new Rengine(args, false, null);
if (!engine.waitForR()) {
System.out.println("Cannot load R");
}
System.out.print("JRI R-Engine call: ");
engine.eval("source(\"" + rFilePath + "\")");
REXP value = engine.eval("as.integer(a<-simple())");
int a = value.asInt();
System.out.println(a);
Maven dependency -
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.lucarosellini.rJava</groupId>
<artifactId>JRI</artifactId>
<version>0.9-7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.lucarosellini.rJava</groupId>
<artifactId>REngine</artifactId>

</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.lucarosellini.rJava</groupId>
<artifactId>JRIEngine</artifactId>
<version>0.9-7</version>
</dependency>
My R script file -
simple<-function(){
a=1
return(a)
}
Output - JRI R-Engine call: 1 and then it hangs. I debugged it and found that it got stuck in Thread.class
Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
