Abstract
One or more new methods are added to existing object code. The existing object code includes a first method that is capable of producing a result. New code is added to the first method. The new code provides the result to one or more of the new methods. After the modification, the result (e.g. a return value or exception) from the first method can be accessed and used by other threads, processes, systems, entities etc. that were not originally programmed to access the result or exception.
