[Isolate-interest] Question about multiple isolates

[Landgren, Owen C.]

Are the new isolates created by a parent application considered
separate applications by the JVM (from the parent and each other),
separate threads of the parent application, or do they coexist within a
single thread of the parent app? If either of the latter two cases are
accurate, how are the static fields protected from other isolates
within the same application? 
We were unable to find any documentation concerning the creation of
multiple isolates by a single application. Is there some source of
information you can point us to?

		Can a single application spawn multiple isolates? For
example, if we have a single "server" program that accepts multiple
"agent" programs, can each agent program be spawned in its own isolate
while still remaining a subcomponent of the server itself?

	Yes. A program can spawn any number of isolates (subject to
resource available to that program of course, and security policy in
place).
