A long running JVM that handles read and convert requests.

By default every MpxjEx.read/2 or MpxjEx.convert/3 call starts a new JVM, which costs around half a second. When you read many files, start a server in your supervision tree and pass it with the :server option (or configure it once with config :mpxj_ex, server: MpxjEx.Server):

children = [
  {MpxjEx.Server, name: MpxjEx.Server, pool_size: 4, max_memory: "2g"}
]

MpxjEx.read("plan.mpp", server: MpxjEx.Server)

The JVM processes up to :pool_size requests concurrently. If it exits, pending callers get a :jvm_crashed error and the server stops, so its supervisor can restart it.

Options

• :name - name to register the server under
• :pool_size - number of requests handled concurrently (defaults to System.schedulers_online/0)
• :max_memory - JVM maximum heap size, such as "2g"
• :java - path to the java executable
• :jvm_args - extra arguments for the JVM
