Java Checkpoint-Restart Tool
Designed and implemented the first checkpoint/restart tool ever written in Java. Using the basic paradigm of checkpoint/restart, I implemented a system for creating restartable Java programs and restoring objects which participate in a logical unit of work. The initial implementation was quite early, when JDBC had first been introduced, and the core code was later retrofitted to take advantage of then-new Java technologies such as BLOB support in JDBC, as well as object serialization.
Note:This technology was obsoleted by Java's subsequent radical changes as new persistence models were developed and stream-based file input/output changed. By then, it was obvious that checkpoint/restart was not going to be a requirement for the Java platform and development had been abandoned.
