ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for creating an object-oriented storage structure for storing parsed data so that it can be accessed and manipulated. A Java Archive (JAR) file containing a Manifest file is parsed and the contents placed in the object-oriented storage structure. The Manifest file contains a plurality of paragraphs where each paragraph is separated by a blank line. Each paragraph in the Manifest file is associated with an element in a Paragraph Vector in the object-oriented storage structure. Each element of the Paragraph Vector contains a reference to a Hashtable where each element in the Hashtable corresponds to a Manifest <key>:<value> pair. The storage structure is capable of dynamically growing to the necessary size of the JAR file. Paragraphs are easily added to the end of each Paragraph Vector while maintaining the ordering of the Paragraph Vectors and the performance of look-up searches.
