Filed:

Nov 5, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/983129

Inventors:

Victor Leon Havin - Mountain View CA, US
Allan Kendall Pratt - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717106, 717118

Abstract:

The present invention method and system ensure execution of post processing logic for a subject computer program routine (e. g. , JAVA application) without wrapping the routine inside another. The invention system and method include different sets of exit handling steps for different types of exits in the subject routine. In each set of exit handling steps, the post processing logic is executed. Flow of control of the subject routine resumes at the respective exit point.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717166, 717130, 717167

Abstract:

A data processing system, method and computer program product for profiling interface assisted class loading for byte code instrumented logic can be provided. The system can include a development environment configured for byte code instrumentation of byte streams for instantiation in a virtual machine, such as a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The system further can include a profiling interface agent, such as a JVM profiling interface (JVMPI) compliant profiling interface agent. Finally, the system can include profiling assisted class loading logic coupled to the agent. The profiling assisted class loading logic can include program code enabled to identify an extension class required for use by an embedded class for a byte code instrumented byte stream and to request the profiling interface agent to load the extension class in the virtual machine.

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

715731, 715732, 715275, 345581

Abstract:

A computer implemented method for capturing and enhancing illustrating pane content for use as sequential slides in a presentation includes illustrating a static image on an illustrating pane in a plurality of colors. Each color used to illustrate the static image representing a single element of the static image. The method further includes digitally capturing a single finished image of the illustrated static image and enhancing the background, geometry and colors comprising the finished image. The single finished image is separated into a plurality of single color images with each single color image comprising only a portion of the single finished image comprising that specific color. A ordered presentation is built from the single colored images and the presentation is displayed.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to externally stored static elements for a document in a document editor and provide a method, system and computer program product for moving static elements for a document between an external file and the document in a document editor. A data processing system for moving static elements for a document between an external file and the document in a document editor can include an automated de-externalization and re-externalization processor coupled to a document editor. The automated de-externalization and re-externalization processor can include program code enabled both to replace static elements in a subject document with static element references while storing replaced static elements in entries in an external file, and also to replace static element references in the subject document with corresponding static elements stored in the entries in the external file.
