Hello. I am starting two threads using a predicate as query in json_prolog: one for subscribing to topics and other pops the callback to make assertions. There are separate spin() for both of them. It is similar to the one given in knowrob_perception_tutorial. When I start the json_prolog node, and start the thread by querying a predicate, I get "SingleThreadedSpinner: use MultiThreadedSpinner" error. The same code works perfectly with rosprolog load method. This is after I solved this error. Thank you.

You are using the catkinized KnowRob that uses rosjava, not rosjava_jni, right? There is no spinner in rosjava any more, see here. It may be that you have been confused by the old Java files in knowrob_perception_tutorial (that used the older rosjava_jni), which I had forgotten to remove. This is the current approach to use.

If you use the older, rosbuild-based KnowRob that is based on rosjava_jni: This rosjava version wraps around roscpp, which would explain your error message. Spin() may only be called by one thread, i.e. you can remove the calls to 'spin()' in the other threads. However, I'd recommend to avoid rosjava_jni altogether since it's not actively maintained any more.

Thank you Moritz. I have installed Knowrob in fuerte, so I am afraid I'll have to use rosjava_jni. Do you think I can have rosjava(catkinized) working in fuerte or, if there is another workaround? Currently it does not accept even a single spin() from my class and throws the above error.

Have you tried to simply remove the spin()? As long as it's called in one thread, the messages should still be processed, so I expect everything to be fine. If there was no other spin(), you would not get this error message.

Hi. Yes. removing all the spin() and sub-shutdown() did the job. Thanks
