Apparatus and method for loading and updating code in self-contained applications

Updating application functionality. A method includes, importing from a management entity, a set of code into an application. The set of code provides a certain set of functions and/or functionality to the application. Based on the imported set of code, the method includes providing the certain set of functions and/or functionality. At a later time, as a result of the management entity providing an updated set of code, the method includes importing the updated set of code into the application, where the updated set of code provides a different set of functions and/or functionality to the application. Based on the imported updated set of code, the method includes providing a different set of functions and/or functionality. 更新应用功能性。种方法包括，从管理实体向应用中导入代码集合。代码集合向应用提供某个功能和/或功能性集合。基于导入的代码集合，该方法包括提供某个功能和/或功能性集合。之后，作为管理实体提供更新后的代码集合的结果，该方法包括向应用中导入更新后的代码集合，其中更新后的代码集合向应用提供不同的功能和/或功能性集合。基于导入的更新后的代码集合，该方法包括提供不同的功能和/或功能性集合。
