Abstract
We report on two tools which extend Java with support for static typechecking of communication protocols. Our Mungo tool extends Java with typestate definitions, which allow classes to be associated with state machines defining permitted sequences of method calls. A complementary tool, StMungo, takes a communication protocol specified in the Scribble protocol description language, and generates a typestate specification for each endpoint, capturing the permitted sequences of messages along that channel. Endpoint implementations can be validated by Mungo against their typestate definitions and then compiled as usual with javac. We formalise Mungo’s typestate inference system and demonstrate the Scribble, Mungo and StMungo toolchain via a typechecked SMTP client that can communicate with a real-world SMTP server.
