According to an aspect, a system includes a messaging platform configured to facilitate an exchange of messages between user accounts of the messaging platform, and a client application configured to communicate with the messaging platform. The messaging platform is configured to store a UI process flow relating to the on-boarding process, where the UI process flow defines a flow logic for a plurality of nodes representing tasks to be executed by the client application, and each node is defined by one or more generic UI components and configuration data that configures the generic UI components to render UI objects on a user interface of the client application. The messaging platform is configured to modify one or more of the tasks or the flow logic to change at least one aspect of the on-boarding process without requiring the client application to implement a software update.

Disclosed herein is a system and method for dynamically redefining class files in a Java-based development environment. The existing development cycle in Java generally requires developers to edit, build, and deploy before they can test changes to the code. This process can be quite time consuming. There is a need for dynamically redefining and testing class files in a development environment without a significant time delay or loss of data. In one embodiment, when a developer modifies the class definition a ClassFileTransformer function is used to maintain the original shape of a redefinable class, i.e. its declared fields and methods, without affecting the redefined class' behavior or appearance to outside code.

In one embodiment, a method for caching mutable objects comprises adding to a cache a first cache entry that includes a first object and a first key. Assigning a unique identification to the first object. Adding an entry to an instance map for the first object. The entry includes the unique identification and the first object. Creating a data structure that represents the first object. The data structure includes information relevant to the current state of the first object. A second cache entry is then added to the cache. The second cache entry includes the data structure and the unique identification. Updating the first cache entry to replace the first object with the unique identification.
