Abstract
A sub-process is performed on a first computing platform to create a portable initialized object. The portable initialized object is communicated to a second computing platform. The second computing platform uses the portable initialized object to replace performing the sub-process.
Claims1
A method for sharing portable initialized objects by a first virtual machine, the method comprising:
- generating a DOM by reading and XML parsing a TCP/IP configuration during a boot-up process;
- placing the DOM in a memory block;
- assigning a first ID to the DOM, the first ID indicating the DOM is associated with reading and XML parsing the TCP/IP configuration;
- assigning a first time out value to the DOM, the first time out value indicating when the first virtual machine should discard the DOM;
- determining a second virtual machine is authorized to receive the DOM based on a GPS location of the second virtual machine;
- communicating the DOM to the second virtual machine over a Bluetooth connection, the DOM allowing the second virtual machine to bypass reading and XML parsing the TCP/IP configuration;
- determining the first time out value has been reached;
- discarding the DOM in response to the determining the first time out value has been reached;
- receiving an update notification for an update;
- downloading the update;
- creating an unpacked update package by unpacking the update;
- assigning a second ID to the unpacked update package, the second ID indicating that the unpacked update package is associated with unpacking the update;
- assigning a second time out value to the unpacked update package, the second time out value indicating when the first virtual machine should discard the unpacked update package;
- communicating the unpacked update package to the second virtual machine over the Bluetooth connection;
- determining the second time out value has been reached;
- and
- discarding the unpacked update package.
