Less data to transmit from a server to a virtual machine on a client is achieved by transmitting only those methods of classes that the executed application actually requires. This is accomplished by taking the classes of the targeted application and statically determining which methods of these classes, as well as of the library classes, can actually be used by the application. A method usage map of usable methods for each class is saved in a file. When the request to download is received from the client, the server consults this map and selectively transmits only those methods that are in it. This saves download time and memory space in the virtual machine and speeds up execution.
