Appeal 2007-0506
Application 09/998,511
is done in the name of one object to interfere with the others by causing the
specified breakpoint to happen for all of them. This discloses breakpointing
a method and halting execution when the method is executed in the object,
but does not disclose breakpointing a method in the base class and halting
execution of a program upon reaching an implementation of a method
identified in an interface with which a breakpoint is associated. Thus,
neither Nishimura nor Coplien discloses halting execution of a program
upon reaching an implementation of a method identified in an interface with
which a breakpoint is associated. The rejection of claim 14 is reversed.
Coplien likewise fails to cure the deficiencies in independent claims 1
and 18. Therefore, the rejection of claims 2, 5, 19, and 21 is reversed.
West and the APA have not been applied for limitations that would
cure the deficiencies of independent claims 1 and 18. Therefore, the
rejections of claims 11, 12, and 25 are reversed.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 1-5, 7-15, and 17-30 are reversed.
REVERSED
