Information processing method and system

An information processing system for executing a plurality of Java applications on a single Java virtual machine, comprising a control module that operates on the Java virtual machine,

• wherein said control module comprises:
• means for obtaining information for identifying a Java application to be executed;
• means for generating an internal process for the application identified by the obtained information;
• and
• means for starting the generated internal process, and
• wherein said control module executes processing of each means concerning the internal process for each of the plurality of Java application programs to be executed.

A recording medium storing therein a computer program that serves as a control module operating on a Java virtual machine for implementing an information processing method for executing a plurality of Java applications on a single Java virtual machine, said computer program comprising:

• a function for obtaining information for identifying a Java application to be executed;
• a function for generating an internal process for the application identified by the obtained information;
• and
• a function for starting the generated internal process, and
• wherein another internal process is generated and started for each of the plurality of Java applications to be executed.

A computer program that serves as a control module operating on a Java virtual machine for implementing an information processing method for executing a plurality of Java applications on a single Java virtual machine, said computer program comprising:

• a function for obtaining information for identifying a Java application to be executed;
• a function for generating an internal process for the application identified by the obtained information;
• and
• a function for starting the generated internal process,
• wherein another internal process is generated and started for each of the plurality of Java applications to be executed.

An information processing method wherein a kernel is provided as a control module that functions on a Java virtual machine generated and activated on an operating system (OS), said method comprising the steps of:

• when a Java application program is to be executed, giving an execution command of said kernel to the operating system to generate and activate the Java virtual machine;
• generating and starting said kernel by said Java virtual machine;
• and
• thereafter, serially obtaining, by said kernel, items of information for identifying Java applications to execute a plurality of Java applications on the single java virtual machine concurrently.
