Abstract

This paper presents an application of generative programming to reduce the complications of the protocol for using an application framework written in an object-oriented language. It proposes that a programmable program translator could allow framework users to write a simple program, which is automatically translated by the translator into a program that fits the framework protocol. Then it mentions the author's experience with Javassist, which is a translator toolkit for Java, and discusses a research issue for applying this idea to real-world software development.
