  • Returning a runtime type loaded from an archive in a module system
    Patent number: 10789047
    Abstract: Returning a runtime type loaded from an archive in a module system is disclosed. Operations include (a) identifying, by a class loader implemented in a runtime environment, an archived runtime type loaded into an archive from a module source; (b) identifying a particular package associated with the archived runtime type; (c) determining that the particular package is defined to a runtime module that is defined to (i) the class loader or (ii) any class loader in the class loader hierarchy to which the class loader delegates; and (d) returning directly or indirectly, by the class loader, a runtime type loaded based on the archived runtime type from the archive.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 29, 2020
    Assignee: Oracle International Corporation

  • Generating verification metadata and verifying a runtime type based on verification metadata
    Patent number: 10417024
    Abstract: Operations include (a) receiving a request to verify a first runtime type loaded based on a first runtime type reference; (b) identifying verification metadata comprising a stored assignable relationship between a second runtime type reference and a third runtime type reference; (c) determining whether an actual assignable relationship between a second runtime type and a third runtime type adheres to the stored assignable relationship between the second runtime type reference and the third runtime type reference; and (d) responsive at least to determining that the actual assignable relationship adheres to the stored assignable relationship, determining that the first runtime type is verified based on the verification metadata.

  • GENERATING VERIFICATION METADATA AND VERIFYING A RUNTIME TYPE BASED ON VERIFICATION METADATA
    Publication number: 20190108047
    Abstract: Operations include (a) receiving a request to verify a first runtime type loaded based on a first runtime type reference; (b) identifying verification metadata comprising a stored assignable relationship between a second runtime type reference and a third runtime type reference; (c) determining whether an actual assignable relationship between a second runtime type and a third runtime type adheres to the stored assignable relationship between the second runtime type reference and the third runtime type reference; and (d) responsive at least to determining that the actual assignable relationship adheres to the stored assignable relationship, determining that the first runtime type is verified based on the verification metadata.
