Get process-ID of particular java process?

I have created a startup script for air-video-server which happens to be a java application.

The problem I'm facing now is that I can't identify the process ID of the particular java process using pidof.

ps aux | grep AirVideo shows:

user    4180  7.0  0.3 2309364 31288 pts/0   Sl   12:51   0:00 java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar

Here's the line I'm using right now:

PID=`pidof -o %PPID java`

but this obviously lists the process IDs of all running java processes, not just air-video-server.

PID=`pidof -o %PPID ava -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar`

doesn't match anything at all.
