Abstract
A method for managing static data structures of a legacy data modeling software product in a dynamic class loader environment comprises constructing a bundle-specific registry for each software bundle in the dynamic class loader environment and instructing the legacy data modeling software product to use the bundle-specific registry rather than its default registry when creating in-memory representations of data model classes associated with a particular software bundle. Constructing a bundle-specific registry may include using the bundle's configuration metadata to calculate a dependency graph identifying the other bundles on which the software bundle depends. An initializer may construct the initial set of bundle-specific registries, and a listener may construct bundle-specific registries for new software bundles entering the system.
