Method and system for efficiently starting a JAVA application

摘要

A method and system are provided for starting a new JAVA application while eliminating overhead associated therewith. The new JAVA application is created from a memory image of an initialized JAVA application. The memory image of the process which is executing the initialized JAVA application is copied to enable the memory image to be observed by the new JAVA application. In addition, to copying the memory image, the states of system resources and operating system monitors not present in the copied memory image are recreated on the JAVA application.
