Profiling interface assisted class loading for byte code instrumented logic

A data processing system for profiling interface assisted class loading for byte code instrumented logic, the system comprising:

• a development environment configured for byte code instrumentation of byte streams for instantiation in a virtual machine;
• a profiling interface agent;
• and,
• profiling assisted class loading logic coupled to the agent, the profiling assisted class loading logic comprising program code enabled to identify an extension class required for use by an embedded class for a byte code instrumented byte stream and to request the profiling interface agent to load the extension class in the virtual machine.

A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer usable program code for profiling interface assisted class loading for byte code instrumented logic, said computer program product including:

• computer usable program code for identifying an extension class required for use by an embedded class;
• computer usable program code for requesting a profiling interface agent to load the extension class in a virtual machine;
• computer usable program code for instrumenting a byte stream with the embedded class;
• and,
• computer usable program code for instantiating the instrumented byte stream in the virtual machine.
