I've found this thread very useful. The issue we have is we can't just
recycle ARS whenever we want. I tried the form push method and killed
arplugin in hopes that perhaps the form would be read when things were
respawned. But that didn't work. Will the java method kill a running
escalation? This would be most useful in containing a runaway escalation
(it can take hours to get system bounce authority). Is there an example of
the java 'boilerplate" needed to make an API connection?
