  • Installing and updating interpreted programming language applications using a designated virtual machine
    Patent number: 8402460
    Abstract: A method, system and program of executing an interpreted programming language application from a server at a designated virtual machine on a client computer are provided. A manifest file is extracted which indicates at least one resource for the interpreted programming language application as well as the repository file associated with the resource. The repository file is located in a web start cache and moved to a run directory accessible by the designated virtual machine, outside the web start cache. The interpreted programming language application is then executed from the run directory using the at least one resource.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 2012
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2013
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Installing and updating interpreted programming language applications using a designated virtual machine
    Patent number: 8127288
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for executing an interpreted programming language application from a server at a designated virtual machine on a client computer. A manifest file is extracted which indicates at least one resource for the interpreted programming language application as well as the repository file that provides the at least one resource. The repository file is located in a web start cache and copied to a run directory accessible by the designated virtual machine, outside the web start cache. After terminating the web start application, a particular virtual machine is designated from a plurality of virtual machines based upon the run directory to which the bootstrap class copied the resource repository file thereby forming the designated virtual machine. The interpreted programming language application is then executed from the run directory using the at least one resource.
