Abstract
A method and apparatus providing a data processing system for managing rules in a program in a Java operating system. The program is morphed such that the program becomes a dippable program. A rule change is identified for the program. A dip is created for the program, wherein the dip incorporates the rule change. The dip is added to the dippable program, wherein the rule change is incorporated into the dippable program. In the instance in which the program is not in a form suitable for morphing, an interface may be added to encapsulate the program and allow the program to be compatible with Java objects.
