The Oplet Runtime Environment kernel

The Oplet Runtime Environment kernel (ORE) is responsible for:

• oplet/service life cycle;
• oplet dependency resolution;
• service registry;
• name space isolation and class loading;
• shared resource allocation;
• security;
• persistent state management;
• threading issues.

The oplet's context provides access to the OpletRuntimeEnvironment object representing the ORE. You can make use of its methods to list the currently installed oplets and services and their dependencies, and to control their lifecycles.
