com.mathworks.runtime.ApplicationMode

Java enum that specifies the process mode for MATLAB Runtime instance creation

Since R2026a

Description

The ApplicationMode enum determines whether a MATLAB® Runtime instance operates within the same process as the Java® application or runs in a separate child process.

Enum Values

IN_PROCESS

Creates the MATLAB Runtime instance in the same process as the Java application.

OUT_OF_PROCESS

Creates the MATLAB Runtime instance in a separate child process.

Example

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String ctfPath = "C:/path/to/your/ctf";
        
        // Start MATLAB Runtime in the same process
        try (MatlabRuntime runtime = MatlabRuntime.startMatlab(ctfPath, ApplicationMode.IN_PROCESS)) {
            // Runtime operations here
            System.out.println("MATLAB Runtime started in-process");
        } catch (MatlabNotAvailableException | InterruptedException | 
                 IllegalArgumentException | IllegalStateException e) {
            System.out.println("Error with in-process MATLAB Runtime: " + e.getMessage());
        }
        
        // Start MATLAB Runtime in a separate process
        try (MatlabRuntime runtime = MatlabRuntime.startMatlab(ctfPath, ApplicationMode.OUT_OF_PROCESS)) {
            // Runtime operations here
            System.out.println("MATLAB Runtime started out-of-process");
        } catch (MatlabNotAvailableException | InterruptedException | 
                 IllegalArgumentException | IllegalStateException e) {
            System.out.println("Error with out-of-process MATLAB Runtime: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
