Composite objects: dynamic representation and encapsulation by static classification of object references
FY 2008-09
Summary
A central technique of object-oriented software construction is the composition of several objects to a one, higher-level, composite object. Standard object-oriented programming languages do not ensure protection of composite objects. In particular, there is no guarantee that the composite object controls the changes to its own state. We extend a subset of the Java language by providing mode annotations at object references. These annotations guarantee that the state of composite objects cannot be changed from outside. The result is more secure software.
