Abstract

See full text

An enterprise software system provides an innovative double dispatch data retrieval technique that facilitates determining type safety during compile-time. The system includes an object store for storing a multi-dimensional dataset object. The dataset object provides an interface having a first function for instantiating a non-type-specific indexer object and a second function that returns a type-specific value of the plurality of data element currently referenced by the indexer object. The system also includes an object model that stores the dataset object to the object store, invokes the first function to instantiate the indexer object within the object store, utilizes the indexer object to reference the data element of the dataset object, and invokes the second function to retrieve the type-specific value of the data element referenced by the indexer object. Because the dataset provides the second method by which a type-specific value is returned, compilers may quickly determine type-safety concerns.
