<p>Improved techniques for loading class files into virtual computing machines are disclosed. The techniques seek to provide a mechanism that will generally improve the efficiency of virtual machines by selectively loading information into a virtual machine. A new class attribute ('load-attribute') is defined and implemented for class files. This can be, for example, implemented as a 'load-attribute' table that lists the components that have been selected for loading into the virtual machine. In addition, the load-attribute may provide references to the selected components in the class file. Accordingly, various components of the class file can be marked for loading and selectively loaded.</p> |
