    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are a system and method for partition-scoped patching in an application server environment. A computer environment includes an application server, for example a multitenant application server, that supports the use of one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain. During a partition-scoped rollout of a patch or update, to a resource group or application within a plurality of servers or clusters of servers, the resource group or application can be updated within a targeted partition, using a patch orchestrator and partition lifecycle runtime interface, without affecting the operation of other partitions at those servers or clusters of servers. One or more session handling flags can be used, to enable sessions and/or requests that are associated with the targeted partition, to be handled by a traffic director, during the patching process.
