Abstract

A method for providing a first JVM with support for fault tolerance by using information maintained by the first JVM to checkpoint objects that are created, modified, and/or deleted during the process of responding to an event of a transaction. The checkpointed objects are sent to and stored in a second JVM such that the second JVM is fully capable of continuing the processing of the transaction in the event of the failure of the first JVM.
