A generic approach for runtime object creation and visualization

Abstract

Currently Applications are being built using object oriented programming. A number of methods are used to retrieve data from objects. Technologies have also improved such that objects can be composed at runtime and used for further processing. In modern applications developed using object oriented languages such as Java, C++, C# etc, object composition and decomposition is done very frequently. This is because objects are created at runtime depending on configurable parameters or inputs from users. Most popular examples of object composition include class factories which use configuration to create different kinds of objects at runtime. A more complex example could include Generation of Mock objects using runtime object creation. The Mock objects are frequently used in Testing frameworks, however real objects are also created at runtime depending on the requirements of the application. In this paper we try to use a tree traversal algorithm and Runtime object creation technique to visualize them conveniently.
