Abstract:
A system and method for orchestration of services for use with a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a cloud platform enables provisioning of enterprise software applications within a cloud environment, including packaging enterprise applications as service definition packages (SDP), and instantiating the services using service management engines (SME). In an embodiment, an orchestration engine communicates with a plurality of SMEs to control the flow of service creation, provider dependency resolution, association of services and providers, and the life-cycle management of services within the cloud platform.
Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for determination of partition identifiers in an application server environment. An exemplary method can begin with providing, at one or more computers, including an application server environment executing thereon, together with a plurality of deployable resources which can be used within the application server environment, one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain, and a component invocation context manager, the component invocation context manager comprising a stack. The method can set one or more component invocation contexts. The partition-aware container can perform one of registering or looking up a current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager. The current component invocation context can be associated with a current partition. The method and system can be utilized in multitenant as well as non-multitenant application server environments.
Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing multitenancy support in a platform as a service or cloud computing environment. A platform component enables a service runtime to be shared by multiple tenants, by providing each tenant with a dedicated share or slice of a runtime instance. Each share/slice can be isolated from other shares/slices with respect to factors such as, for example, configuration, or quality of service. In accordance with an embodiment, during provisioning of a particular service runtime, a runtime definition associated with the service runtime can be utilized, for example by a service management engine, to configure the platform component to install one or more services within the service runtime. A particular service and its service runtimes can also be provisioned, within one or more runtime pools, according to a service runtime definition and placement configuration.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing a service management engine for use with a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, enterprise software applications (e.g., Fusion Middleware applications) can be instantiated as services within a cloud platform, where they are then made accessible by other (e.g., customer) applications. In an embodiment, a service management engine (SME), in communication with an orchestration engine, can be used to provision services as one or more different service types, according to a service definition package (SDP). Service types can be instantiated according to the configuration of the cloud platform itself, and the contents of the SDP, including discovering, provisioning, and associating service types with system resources, to address different customer requirements.

Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for multi-tenancy enablement of enterprise Java™ applications using resource proxies and application tenancy context. In according with an embodiment, the system and method can provide a plurality of deployable resources which can be used within the application server environment, and one or more application deployments, wherein each application deployment includes at least one of tenant-specific code and shared-tenant code. The system and method can further determine an application tenancy context of a thread, and point to one or more resource proxies, each of the one or more resource proxies being configurable to communicate with a tenant specific resource. Each of the one or more resource proxies can use the application tenancy context of a thread to communicate with a tenant specific resource.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for resource isolation and consumption in an application server environment. The system can provide, at one or more computers, including an application server environment executing thereon, a plurality of resources which can be used within the application server environment, and one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain. The system can also configure a resource consumption management module to monitor each partition's usage of the plurality of resources. The resource consumption management module can comprise at least one member of the group consisting of resource reservations, resource constraints, and resource notifications.
