The big difference is whether you want your java app to insert itself in the message stack or not: if you use pdj, your java app can send messages before the message to pdj is considered done with. This is depth-first execution. But if you have a [netsend] to talk to a java app and a [netreceive] to receive the replies, ... a [netsend]/[netreceive] pair counts as a kind of [delay] of some unspecified amount.
i didnt get this part:::-->
Have you learned the execution order of Pd? But this topic is only relevant if the java app needs to talk back to Pd.
i think you guys will be best to judge if i explain my application: I have to run pd+gridflow and then run the program multiblob-for-gridflow. then take the data(centres of the crosses obtained, extent of blob and other data) to a java application(whose purpose is to collect this data from pd .) The java app is on teh same machine, so how do i use [netsend]?
Ok, [netsend] will be fine for that. You just have to know that you can't use grid-messages over [netsend], so you will have to use converters such as [#to_list] and [#to_float] and [#unpack] and such.
