Data processing method and apparatus

A data processing apparatus, comprising:

• a memory comprising a database;
• a receiver coupled to the memory and configured to receive source code of an external routine, wherein the source code of the external routine is compiled using an advanced programming language;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• compile the source code to obtain intermediate code, wherein the intermediate code is a byte stream identifiable to a plurality of virtual machines on a plurality of different operating platforms;
• convert, according to an instruction set on one of the operating platforms, the intermediate code into machine code capable of running on the one of the operating platforms;
• and
• store the machine code to the database;
• wherein the receiver is further configured to receive, from a second piece of user equipment, a request for invoking the external routine, and
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• determine, according to the request for invoking the external routine, whether the second user equipment has permission to invoke the external routine;
• invoking, according to a target name and a target address, the intermediate code of the external routine when the intermediate code of the external routine is invoked;
• and
• execute the machine code when determining that the second user equipment has the permission to invoke the external routine so as to invoke the external routine from the database.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:

• receiving source code of an external routine, wherein the source code of the external routine is compiled using an advanced programming language;
• compiling the source code to obtain intermediate code, wherein the intermediate code is a byte stream identifiable to a plurality of virtual machines on a plurality of different operating platforms;
• converting, according to an instruction set on one of the operating platforms, the intermediate code into machine code capable of running on the one of the operating platforms;
• storing the machine code to a database;
• receiving, by the receiver and from a second piece of user equipment, a request for invoking the external routine;
• determining, by the processor and according to the request for invoking the external routine, whether the second piece of user equipment has permission to invoke the external routine;
• invoking, according to a target name and a target address, the intermediate code of the external routine when the intermediate code of the external routine is invoked;
• and
• executing the machine code so as to invoke the external routine from the database when the second piece of user equipment has the permission to invoke the external routine.
