Fighting class name clashes in Java component systems

Abstract:

This paper deals with class and interface name clashes in Java component systems that occur because of evolutionary changes during the lifecycle of a component application. We show that the standard facilities of the Java type system do not provide a satisfactory way to deal with the name clashes, and present a solution based on administering the names of classes and interfaces with a version identifier using a byte code manipulation tool. We provide a proof of concept implementation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
