Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting the use of connectors in an application server environment. The method can provide, a plurality of deployable 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 the domain. The methods and systems can associate one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters to the one or more partitions, each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters associated with one of the one or more partitions. Finally, the methods and systems can determine, by a connector container, a partition scope of one of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters.

Claims

1. A system for supporting the use of connectors in an application server environment, comprising:

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, and

one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain;

one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters, each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters associated with one of the one or more partitions; and

a connector container, the connector container configured to determine a partition scope of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters, wherein the partition scope can be to surface the association between a deployed partition-level resource adapter and a partition.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

one or more resource group templates, each of the one or more resource group templates defining a group of deployable resources within the domain, the group of deployable resources including at least a deployable resource adapter; and

a partition classloader, the partition classloader deploying the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters, the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters being an instantiated version of the deployable resource adapter.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters are scoped to their respective partition.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein access to each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters are restricted to their respective partition.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a partition classloader, the partition classloader deploying the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters are scoped to their respective partition.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein access to each of the one or more deployed resource adapters are restricted to their respective partition.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the application server environment comprises a multi-tenant application server environment, and wherein the system can associate the one or more partitions with a tenant, for use by the tenant.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a domain-level resource group, the domain level resource group comprising a domain-level resource adapter.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein access to the domain-level resource adapter is restricted to applications within the domain.

11. A method for supporting the use of connectors in a multitenant application server environment, comprising:

providing, at one or more computers, including an application server environment executing thereon,

a plurality of deployable 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 the domain;

associating one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters to the one or more partitions, each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters associated with one of the one or more partitions; and

determining, by a connector container, a partition scope of one of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters, wherein the partition scope can be to surface the association between a deployed partition-level resource adapter and a partition.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

providing one or more resource group templates, each of the one or more resource group templates defining a group of deployable resources within the domain, the group of deployable resources including at least a deployable resource adapter; and

deploying, by a partition classloader, the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters, the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters being an instantiated version of the deployable resource adapter.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters are scoped to their respective partition.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein access to each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters are restricted to their respective partition.

15. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

providing a partition classloader, the partition classloader deploying the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters are scoped to their respective partition.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein access to each of the one or more deployed resource adapters are restricted to their respective partition.

18. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

providing a domain-level resource group, the domain level resource group comprising a domain-level resource adapter.

19. The method of claim 19, wherein access to the domain-level resource adapter is restricted to applications within the domain.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored thereon for supporting the use of connectors in a multitenant application server environment which when read and executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform steps comprising:

providing, at one or more computers, including an application server environment executing thereon,

a plurality of deployable 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 the domain;

associating one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters to the one or more partitions, each of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters associated with one of the one or more partitions; and

determining, by a connector container, a partition scope of one of the one or more deployed partition-level resource adapters, wherein the partition scope can be to surface the association between a deployed partition-level resource adapter and a partition.
