Method and system for spooling virtual machine data-presentation jobs via creation of an executable file

A method for processing a print job using a Java virtual machine in a data processing system, said method comprising the computer-implemented steps of:

• receiving a print job request from an application, wherein the print job request includes graphics-related method calls;
• recording the graphics-related method calls as Java source code statements, wherein the Java source code statements include at least one statement not found in the application;
• and
• compiling the Java source code statements as a Java class file, wherein the Java class file is configured to directly print when executed without a separate data file.

A computer program product for use with a data processing system for processing a print job using a Java virtual machine in the data processing system, said computer program product comprising:

• a computer usable medium;
• first instructions for receiving a print job request from an application, wherein the print job request includes graphics-related method calls;
• second instructions for recording the graphics-related method calls as Java source code statements, wherein the Java source code statements include at least one statement not found in the application;
• and
• third instructions for compiling the Java source code statements as a Java class file, wherein the Java class file is configured to directly print when executed without a separate data file.
