SYSTEM FOR HIDING RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT DEPENDENT PART

This invention provides a runtime environment dependency hiding apparatus and the like, which hides a part that depends on the runtime environment in software which runs on a plurality of runtime environments having different specifications. An environment information acquisition unit acquires environment information that pertains to the runtime environment of a Java program from standard properties and the like. A dependence information generation unit generates a dependence information list required for processing the part that depends on the runtime environment in the Java program on the basis of dependence information generation information. A search key generation unit generates a search key in accordance with search key generation knowledge on the basis of the environment information acquired by the environment information acquisition unit. A dependence information search unit searches the dependence information list generated by the dependence information generation unit for dependence information corresponding to the current runtime environment on the basis of the search key generated by the search key generation unit. A process execution unit executes the processing of the part that depends on the runtime environment on the basis of the dependence information obtained by the dependence information search unit.
