Methods and apparatus for dispatching JavaTM 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.
