Example showing how to use an OScript Socket to write data to a background Java ServerSocket.

1. Compile and package the Java source (note the dependencies).
2. Copy the resulting jar file and the Apache Commons IO library to your (OTHome | module) ojlib directory.
3. Create a new script file in OScript using the source below.
4. Run the OScript script.

DISCLAIMER: Obviously, this code is more educational than production quality.

Java source library dependencies:
* Apache Commons IO
* OpenText oml.jar file from %OTHOME%\ojlib\oml.jar

		if (!ok)
			echo("Failed to write to socket!")
			break
		end
		if ( counter % 1000 == 0) 
			echo("	counter: ", counter)
		end
	end
	Socket.Flush( sock )
	Socket.Close( sock)
end
