Abstract

Mechanisms to support fine-grain namespacing are provided. When an object is to be loaded within a processing environment, a specific namespace for that object is dynamically resolved during the load. That namespace can be dynamically resolved via object inheritance, via specific object-attribute declaration, and/or via consultation with a namespace object.
