You are talking about two different things here. Expect is designed
to work between processes. The Java stream you seem to be talking
about would be used between two threads in the same process.

Frankly, I do not understand what the "problem" is. Why don't you just
split your Java process into two processes so that you can have expect
interact with each of them?
