Abstract
A system and method supports dynamic deployment of executable code in a distributed computing environment. A server node in the distributed computing environment can receive a class definition from a client to execute, and generate and load into memory an instance of a class using said class definition without restarting or redeploying the server node. The class definition can define a new or updated class otherwise unavailable to the server node. Classes are identified with unique class identities which enables determination of whether a class is new or updated. The class identity can be used to determine the need for transmitting a class definition to a server node and also to ensure that a correct version of a class in implemented. In a particular case the new or updated class definition implements a lambda expression.
