Has anybody experience using Cplex in JEE environments?

Our question and discussions are motivated because we plan to start more than one CPLEX optimization in parallel from the same Java thread. Is this possible with one shared CPLEX library?

Running multiple optimizations in parallel should not be a problem as far as the shared library is concerned. That library is reentrant, so either scenario should work.

Since the major part of the solution process is implemented in C and thus running as native code it might be a good idea to run CPLEX in a separate process.

You may want to take a look at the CplexServer.java example that illustrates how to pass CPLEX models between server and client.
