Methods and apparatus for dispatching Java™ software as an application managed by an operating system control manager

摘要

Methods and apparatus for controlling operating system independent applications are disclosed. For example, a low-level service application is provided for use in a computer having a processor executing an operating system. The example universal interface is adapted to launch a virtual machine and an application controller executed by the virtual machine. The application controller is adapted to monitor a configuration file and spawn a virtual machine thread in response to data contained in the configuration file to launch multiple operating system independent application programs within the same virtual machine.
