Abstract
Dynamic program translation is utilized to convert an executable program in a first language executable representation to a second language executable representation that is either optimal or essentially required for execution within a defined execution environment on a client computer system. A dynamic translator, typically executed on a first computer system, is invoked in response to a request from a second computer system to provide an identified executable program. The dynamic translator performs an execution path analysis and optimized translation from a first representation, such as a Java class file, to generate executable code in the second representation, such as JavaScript. Optimizations include cross-language feature modifications, selective replacement of nominally un-translatable code portions, and insertion of call-back service requests to dynamically emulate services required in the execution of the program.
