Verification of class liveness properties with Java modeling language
Résumé
Static checking is key for the security of software components. As a component model, this paper considers a Java class enriched with annotations from the Java Modeling Language (JML). It defines a formal execution semantics for repetitive method invocations from this annotated class, called the class in isolation semantics. Afterwards, a pattern of liveness properties is defined, together with its formal semantics, providing a foundation for both static and runtime checking. This pattern is then inscribed in a complete language of temporal properties, called JTPL (Java Temporal Pattern Language), extending JML. We particularly address the verification of liveness properties by auto- matically translating the temporal properties into JML annotations for this class. This automatic translation is implemented in a tool called JAG (JML Annotation Generator). Correctness of the generated annotations ensures that the temporal property is established for the executions of the class in isolation.
