Method, system, data structures, and article of manufacture for implementing a persistent object

摘要

Provided are a method, system, data structures and article of manufacture for implementing an array of persistent elements. A class of the array of persistent elements has a constructor. A call is received from an application executing in a runtime environment to the constructor. The constructor is processed to create an empty array of persistent elements. A persistent element is included into the array of persistent elements within the runtime environment by storing persistent data of the added persistent element in a data record and the address of the data record at a corresponding index record.
