A fault-tolerant java virtual machine

A method for providing a first JVM (30) with support for fault tolerance by using information maintained by the first JVM (30) to checkpoint objects that are created, modified, and/or deleted during the process of responding to an event of a transaction. The checkpointed objects are sent to and stored in a second JVM (40) such that the second JVM (40) is fully capable of continuing the processing of the transaction in the event
