20110283256 | METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND SYSTEM FOR NON-BLOCKING DYNAMIC UPDATE OF STATICALLY TYPED CLASS-BASED OBJECT-ORIENTED SOFTWARE - Under the present invention, a method, computer program product, and system for non-blocking dynamic update of statically-typed class-based object-oriented software executing as byte-code on a virtual machine within an actively running computer system is provided. A set of objects instantiated from an existing module or multiple modules (identifiable collections of application resources and class definitions in the form of byte-code representations) is ready for execution on a virtual machine in an actively running computer system. New versions of one or more modules corresponding to those already loaded into the actively running virtual machine are dynamically loaded into the virtual machine for the purpose of updating the running software. The class definitions within the loaded modules are prepared for dynamic update by inserting byte-code that enables; transparent state transfer and shared object identity between objects of a former version and the new version of a class. On the event of a software update, the objects instantiated from a former version of an updated class become un-initialized surrogate objects with the potential to redirect to their future corresponding objects. Corresponding objects are created lazily on first access of the declaring class members. Besides lazy redirection of the behavior of objects and classes, non-blocking dynamic update is achieved by lazy migration of the state of former objects and classes while locking on a temporary field access lock. Thus, the algorithm for controlling field access and state migration is completely lock-free both before and after state migration; hence the performance degradation is minimal. Finally, any unreferenced objects are removed from memory. | 11-17-2011 |

20140075422 | METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY TRANSFORMING THE BYTECODE OF JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE BOOTSTRAP CLASSES - Under the present invention, a method for dynamically transforming the bytecode of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) bootstrap classes during program startup is provided. A JVM agent is used to intercept the execution flow before the execution of the special program startup-method of a JVM compliant computer program. The said JVM Agent executes code to transform the bytecode of the already loaded JVM bootstrap classes, storing the new set of modified bootstrap classes onto data storage. Subsequently, the JVM Agent intercepts all class loading events transforming the bytecode of classes declaring a special program statrup-method. In those classes the bytecode within the method body of the special class-initialize method, as defined in the present JVM class file format as “”, is removed to avoid any side-effects in the program. The special program startup-method in the said classes is transformed to insert bytecode at the beginning of the method to invoke a special callback method, as declared within the said JVM Agent, passing as parameters to the callback method the main arguments as passed to the JVM upon program startup. Subsequently, when the said callback method intercepts the execution flow it starts a second JVM instance passing to it the obtained input parameters, the main method arguments as well as a JVM input argument to use the stored set of modified bootstrap classes. | 03-13-2014 |
