PROVISIONING COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS USING SECURE PARAMETER ACCESS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a provisioning server, a request for a configuration parameter from a first component of a composite Web application, the first component residing on a first virtual machine (VM), the requested configuration parameter being related to a second component of the composite Web application, the second component residing on a second VM;
identifying a role of the first component in the composite Web application;
determining, by the provisioning server, whether the first component has access to the requested configuration parameter based on the role of the first component; and
providing the requested configuration parameter to the first component of the composite application if the first component is determined to have access to the requested configuration parameter.

Abstract
A mechanism for provisioning composite application using secure parameter transfer is disclosed. A method of one embodiment of the invention includes receiving a request for a configuration parameter from a first component of a composite Web application residing on a first virtual machine (VM), The requested configuration parameter can be related to a second component of the composite Web application residing on a second VM. The role of the first component in the composite Web application is identified and a determination is made as to whether the first component has access to the requested configuration parameter based on the role of the first component. If the first component has access, then the requested configuration parameter is provided to the first component.
