ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture which provides for synchronizing classes, objects, attributes, object properties, etc., in an object-oriented system. The method comprises the steps of identifying target classes, objects, attributes, object properties, etc., verifying whether the synchronization of each of the targets can proceed, and modifying the targets, wherein the target classes, objects, attributes, etc. are synchronized across the object-oriented system. The identifying step further comprises the steps of navigating the object-oriented system based on definitional relationships and ownership relationships, generating target identifiers that uniquely identify the targets, and recording the target identifiers in a linear data structure.
