ABSTRACT:
An extension to the JVM is described by which the efficiency with which applications are developed and transmitted between platforms is vastly improved. The present invention imposes a new object model on the Java object model provided intrinsically by the Java programming language. The object model of the present invention separates attribute data from an object which would otherwise be encapsulated therein. This data represents the external interface of a particular instance of the object class. The internal interface of the object class, i.e., the behavior common to all instances of a particular object type, is stored separately in an object type information file.
