Abstract

See full text

The method maintenance mechanism of the present invention is comprised of two submechanisms, a method update mechanism and a method call manager. The method update mechanism is used to make changes to existing methods. The method call manger manages calls to methods in a way that allows active programs to continue to use old versions of methods while at the same time providing access to new method versions when programs are reactivated or activated for the first time.
