A stateless-object method is provided for executing instructions. The
method: establishes a central repository of states, cross-referencing
state locations in memory, to identifiers; calls a first method; accesses
a stateless-object in response to the first method, the stateless-object
including an identifier and a second method; reads the identifier; uses
the identifier to cross-reference the stateless-object's state location
in the repository; accesses the located state; and, instantiates the
second method in response to accessing the state. The central repository
of states may cross-reference a first state to a first identifier, and
the step of accessing the stateless-object includes accessing a plurality
of stateless-objects in response to the first method, with each of the
stateless-objects including the first identifier. Then, the step of
locating the state of the stateless-object using the identifier includes
locating the first state for each of the plurality of stateless-objects
by using the first identifier.
