Java virtual machine having integrated transaction management system and facility to query managed objects

A computer-implemented method carried out by at least one computing device, the method comprising:

• by the at least one computing device, executing computer program instructions to accomplish a fully transactional application defined at least in part using the Java programming language, including executing managed objects, wherein the managed objects are persisted in a shared memory of the computing system, such that a scope of the objects is global to the fully transactional application;
• by the at least one computing device, executing computer program instructions to maintain a parametric mapping of the managed objects;
• and
• by the at least one computing device, executing computer program instructions to receive from the application a parametric selection of the managed objects relative to the maintained catalog, and to provide to the application a result of the parametric selection that is a portion of the managed objects.

A computing system, comprising at least one computing device configured to execute computer program instructions to:

• accomplish a fully transactional application defined at least in part using the Java programming language, including executing managed objects, wherein the managed objects are persisted in a shared memory of the computing system, such that a scope of the objects is global to the fully transactional application;
• maintain a catalog of the managed objects;
• and
• provide a query interface for querying the managed objects, in order to receive a query from an application, to process the catalog, and to provide a result indication of at least one of the managed objects back to the querying application.
