[Py4j-users] getting the java gateway to unblock after method call

[Aaron E. <aar...@ya...>]

I have a method on the java side that launches a java app. If I call this java method from the python side, the app launches properly, but I am not able to call any further java methods from the python side. I assume the gateway is blocking because it thinks the first method called has not finished execution.What is the recommended way to work around this?
