Estimating the term…
A Java run-time system comprises a stacked-based interpreter for executing a Java program which comprises Java bytecode instructions and Java class structures, a converter for mapping standard Java symbolic linking strings contained in a downloaded Java program onto linking identifiers, and an export table for storing linking identifiers generated by the converter to bind a reference in a bytecode instruction to be executed to a corresponding link target. This Java run-time system is particularly suitable for embedded microcontrollers on smart cards.
A Java run-time system comprising
A method for downloading and linking a Java program on a Java run-time system comprising a stack-based interpreter for executing bytecode instructions, said Java program comprising Java bytecode instructions and Java class structures and including Java standard symbolic linking strings to bind a reference in a bytecode instruction to be executed to a corresponding link target, comprising the steps of mapping the Java standard symbolic linking strings to linking identifiers;
A program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform method steps of a method for downloading and linking a Java program on a Java run-time system comprising a stack-based interpreter for executing bytecode instructions, said Java program comprising Java bytecode instructions and Java class structures and including Java standard symbolic linking strings to bind a reference in a bytecode instruction to be executed to a corresponding link target, comprising the steps of mapping the Java standard symbolic linking strings to linking identifiers;
