Abstract
The present invention provides a process in a data processing system for executing bytecodes. The bytecodes are contained in a JAVA archive file along with just in time compiling instructions. A call to just in time compile bytecodes is intercepted in which the bytecodes should not be JIT'ed. A means is provided within the JAVA archive file for software developers to mark as 'no JIT' some classes/methods in the field. Conversely, means is provided within the JAVA archive file for software developers to mark as 'JIT' some classes/methods in the field. Only the selected bytecodes are sent to the interpreter for processing rather than all of the classes.
