METHOD FOR LOOKUP OF PACKAGES AND CLASSES IN JAVA, AND DEVICES MAKING USE OF THIS METHOD

摘要

The present invention concerns a client system comprising a Java interpreter for the execution of a Java program (Java applet) and a set of Java classes for interaction with the client system. The client system only holds a reduced set of Java classes, and comprises means for loading Java classes which do not belong to the reduced set of Java classes into the client system only if needed during execution of said Java program. It may also include means for erasing such a loaded class and/or means for storing such a loaded class permanently, i.e., adding it to the reduced set of Java classes.
