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.
Claims3
A method for sharing portable initialized objects by a first virtual machine, the method comprising:
- generating a Document Object Model (DOM) by reading and parsing a TCP/IP configuration represented in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format during a boot-up process;
- placing the DOM object in a memory block of the first virtual machine;
- assigning a first ID to the DOM object, the first ID indicating the DOM object is associated with reading and parsing the TCP/IP configuration;
- assigning a first time out value to the DOM object, the first time out value indicating when the first virtual machine will discard the DOM object;
- determining that a second virtual machine is authorized to receive the DOM object based on a location of the second virtual machine;
- establishing a wireless connection between the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine;
- determining the first time out value has been reached;
- discarding the DOM object in response to the determining the first time out value has been reached;
- creating an unpacked update package by unpacking an update, the update downloaded in response to a detection of 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 will discard the unpacked update package;
- communicating the DOM object and the unpacked update package to the second virtual machine, over the wireless connection;
- determining the second time out value has been reached;
- and discarding the unpacked update package in response to the determining the second time out value has been reached.
