1. A method for translating exception handling semantics within a bytecode class file from a bytecode stream in a computer system, said method comprising the steps of: establishing a bytecode information array; examining each bytecode within said bytecode stream to insert pertinent information into said bytecode information array; obtaining an exception framelist from said bytecode class file, wherein said exception framelist includes an exception handling routine; marking said insert pertinent information in said bytecode information array that correspond to a starting location and an ending location of said exception framelist; and generating a high-level code sequence utilizing said bytecode information array of said marking step.
