- ORIGINALITY: based on a theoretical integration of session types and typestate, this is the first toolset for fully combining session types and object-oriented programming in Java. SIGNIFICANCE: the previous conference version is the most cited paper from ACM PPDP 2016; invited for this special journal issue. The work has been extended by other researchers in their publication at APLAS 2020. RIGOUR: the correctness of the type system is proved mathematically with respect to the operational semantics of a core language. A case study implements and typechecks an SMTP client which is therefore guaranteed to safely interact with widely deployed servers.
