ABSTRACT:
A dictionary based technique for accessing elements of a data structure used by an object oriented program involves creating a dictionary for the elements which compose the data structure including location information for each element. Responsive to a request for a particular data structure element, the dictionary is interrogated to return a pointer to a desired instance of a particular data structure element to the requesting process. The dictionary finds particular application in dynamic and complicated Internet programs written in JavaScript, where a typical data structure is a response/request based database structure which parallels a request and a response in an Internet protocol. Object constructors which utilized to initialize properties on an object are also generated from the dictionary. Once a request is recieved to generate object constructor code for an object in the object oriented program, rule data for naming properties of the object are retrieved from a rule database. Element data on elements for the object is retrieved from the dictionary and the object constructor code is generated according to the retrieved rule and element data. Object constructors are generated for initializing the set of properties as a subobjects in the object oriented program as a child objects of their respective originating object.
