ABSTRACT:
Improved techniques for representation of Java data types in Java computing environments are disclosed. A word consisting of four bytes is used to represent primitive and non-primitive Java data types. As will be appreciated, the Java data type representations can be used by a Java virtual machine to efficiently represent various Java data types encountered in Java computing environments. As a result, various components that can represent Java data types (e.g., signatures of Java methods) can efficiently be constructed.
