A method and system for employing client interfaces for packages. In one embodiment, an access object associated with a service provided by a first package is located, where the service is seeking to access content residing at a second package. A client interface is then created at the second package using the access object. The client interface is used to provide access to the content by exposing the content to the service via the client interface.

Client interfaces for packages

A method and system for object generation in packages. In one embodiment, the process for generating an object in a package is initiated. The package is created and is associated with a target package. The object is generated into the package.

Object generation in packages

A method and system for executing calls and return calls using client interfaces for packages. In one embodiment, a service at a service package is called using a client interface at a client package. The return call is then made on object using the client interface at the client package as performed by the service at the service package.

Calls and return calls using client interfaces

A system and method are provided for interacting with a persistence layer. In an embodiment, a persistence layer may receive a representation of Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) metadata. The persistence layer may determine whether the representation of Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) metadata is compatible with a version of the EJB specification. In an embodiment, a representation of an Object-Relational (OR) mapping schema may be generated based, at least in part, on the representation of EJB metadata.

System and method for interacting with a persistence layer

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for defining and using data types at runtime. A procedural source code program is compiled to generate a compiled program having instructions to create a runtime data type and to use the runtime data type. The runtime data type has a compound structure of referenced data types. Instructions to create a runtime data type having a compound structure are executed by creating a runtime data type definition from the compound structure of referenced data types by resolving the referenced data types bottom up into data types known at runtime. A data object having the runtime data type is created. Type checking is performed on uses of the data object at runtime according to the runtime data type.
