Abstract
A system for implementing an object in a storage system. This system includes the ability to register at run-time classes and methods associated with the classes which provide class functionality from objects instantiated from the class. Each class can have a parent class reference referring to another registered class. Objects can be instantiated from a particular class and the methods associated with the class from which the object was created, as well as the parent classes of the class, can be invoked by the storage system to provide functionality defined by the developer of the classes.
