Abstract
The present invention involves a system that employs network loadable debugging agents which are capable of first failure support for software products. The present invention enables the user working with object-oriented programming systems, such as AWT (“Abstract Windowing Toolkit”) problems on the JavaOS operating system, to get an inside view of the system's graphics/messaging, etc., without having to run special builds of the system. It also allows the user to look into a problem on any network connected computer system running an object-oriented operating system, when the failure first occurs, without having to reload the system, reboot and recreate the problem.
