Implementing Binary Component Adaptation for Java

Ralph Keller and Urs Hölzle

Abstract: This paper gives a detailed description of our implementation of binary component adaptation (BCA) for Java. We describe the adaptation specification, its translation into the delta file, and how class files are modified during class loading. We also explain how we integrated BCA into the JDK1.1.5 and how we modified javac in order to compile against adapted classes.

Keywords: software engineering, software components, binary component adaptation, implementation, Java
