Flow of control in behaviors. Java is not a dynamic language; to simulate a dynamic language’s features in Java, you must add a certain amount of “glue” to each class method that may be ...

The caller holds a static reference to the dynamic code, and no matter how the dynamic code reloads at runtime, the caller can always access the up-to-date class without updating the reference.

Dynamic polymorphism in Java involves method overriding and abstract classes. Abstract classes declare methods without providing implementation, leaving it to subclasses to define specific behavior.

In this project I am testing dynamic class reloading - static methods & variables and instance methods & variables. Basically, you can reload a class on the fly by reading it from the filesystem, but ...

Dynamic proxies make code easier to maintain. Instead of a large number of handcrafted classes, we write a single dynamic proxy. It is the “don’t repeat yourself” principle on steroids.

Modern applications are becoming increasingly more dynamic and flexible. In Java software, one important flexibility mechanism is dynamic class loading. Unfortunately, the vast majority of static ...

Dynamic loading of Java classes at runtime provides tremendous flexibility in the development of enterprise systems. It provides for the basis of "application servers", and allows even simpler, ...

Abstract: In this paper, we describe the techniques that have been implemented in the IBM TestaRossa (TR) just-in-time (JIT) compiler to safely perform aggressive code patching and collect accurate ...
