ABSTRACT:
A method, system and program for supporting a dynamic bind between a derived class and its parent class. A processor provides for the registration of class objects and dynamic binding of derived class objects to their parent class objects based on the registration mechanism. The SOM object model removes static references to class objects by having all the parent class information available at runtime through the parent class object. Thus, when the derived class implementation needs information about the size of the parent class state data structure, the addresses of the parent class method procedures, or access to the parent class method procedure table the appropriate information is retrieved from the parent class object.
