Blended virtual machine approach for flexible production delivery of intelligent business workflow rules

Abstract:

A method for blending uncompiled source files and compiled binaries in a single Runtime container. The method may include receiving data at a configuration database. The method may include invoking a scheduler. The method may include determining whether it is time to rerun the software code referenced by the Runtime container. The method may include performing a hash function on source files comprising content and logic. The method may include retrieving source files that include updated hash signatures. The method may include storing an in-memory equivalent of the source files. The method may include invoking a class loader for each source file that has been parsed successfully. The method may include storing, for each successfully loaded source file, a name and reference location. The method may include loading classes based on received names. The method may include compiling the binaries and implementing the logic referenced by the received names.
