Patent ID: 6886158

Claim:
A method for creating componentware in which a first componentware and a second componentware, which is adapted to provide reference source for the first componentware, are linked to each other during loading onto a system, comprising the steps of: generating the first componentware by replacing a first symbol name, adapted to be referred externally, with a first symbol ID adapted to identify the first symbol name; creating first table data indicative of a relationship between the first symbol name and the first symbol ID; creating external list data indicative of a relationship between the first symbol name and the first symbol ID; generating the second componentware by replacing a second symbol name, adapted to be a reference source for the first componentware, with a second symbol ID, wherein the second symbol ID is adapted to identify the second symbol name as a function of the external list data; and creating second table data indicative of a relationship between the second symbol name and the second symbol ID, wherein the first componentware and the second componentwares are linked to each other as a function of the first table data and the second table data.
