How to call matlab from Java in Matlab deployed application?

I have a Matlab application that is built using standard Matlab code and some Java libraries. Some of these Java libraries call matlab using the "matlabcontrol" library (a wrapper of the mathworks JMI libraries).

Everything works fine when running from the standard Matlab user interface, but not when the whole application is deployed using the Matlab Compiler. In this case calling matlab from Java just hangs.

Is it at all possible to run (evaluate) matlab code from Java in a deployed application?

Thanks for any help!
