ABSTRACT:
A method to perform I/O (Input/Output) operations in a data processing unit running an interpretative based program in an Interpretive Machine (IM). One example on an interpretative based program running in an IM is a Java based program. An I/O class for passing data into the interpretative based program and out of a the interpretative based program is defined. An object representing an instance of this I/O class is created. The I/O class includes a first member function called an Applet function for handling I/O operations when the IM is running as an Applet coupled to a Web browser. The Applet function has its own procedures and data variables for performing I/O operations. The I/O class includes a second member function called and Application function for handling I/O operations when the IM is running as an Application not coupled to a Web browser. The Application function has its own procedures and variables for performing I/O operations. A check is made to determine whether the interpretative based program is being executed with or without a browser. When the interpretative based program is being executed with a browser, the Applet function performs I/O operations and when the interpretive based program is being executed without a browser, the Application function performs the I/O operations. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a computer readable medium is disclosed corresponding to the above method.
