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.

a component invocation context manager, the component invocation context manager including a stack;

wherein the partition-aware container performs one of registering or looking up a current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager; and

wherein the current component invocation context is associated with a current partition.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein registering the current component invocation context comprises:

receiving, at a front end component, a request including target information, the target information indicating the current partition; and

determining, by the partition-aware container, the current component invocation context; and

registering, by the partition-aware container via an application program interface, the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the partition-aware container is configured to, after registering the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager, upon completion of the request, unregister the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager, the unregistering comprising:

unregistering, by the partition-aware container via the application program interface, the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising

a work manager,

wherein registering the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager by the partition-aware container comprises passing instructions by the partition-aware container to the work manager to register the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein looking up the current component invocation context comprises:

requesting, by the partition-aware container, the current component invocation context from the component invocation context manager; and

setting, within the partition-aware container, the current component invocation context.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the current partition is one of the group consisting of one of the one or more partitions, or a global partition, the global partition being associated with the domain.

7. 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.

8. A method for determination of partition identifiers in an application server environment, comprising:

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;

setting, at a partition-aware container, one or more component invocation contexts;

performing, by the partition-aware container performs, one of registering or looking up a current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager; and

associating the current component invocation context with a current partition.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein registering the current component invocation context comprises:

receiving, at a front end component, a request including target information, the target information indicating the current partition; and

determining, by the partition-aware container, the current component invocation context; and

registering, by the partition-aware container via an application program interface, the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the partition-aware container is configured to, after registering the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager, upon completion of the request, unregister the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager, the unregistering comprising:

unregistering, by the partition-aware container via the application program interface, the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

further providing, at the one or more computers, including an application server environment executing thereon, a work manager; and

wherein registering the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager by the partition-aware container comprises passing instructions by the partition-aware container to the work manager to register the current component invocation context at the component invocation context manager.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein looking up the current component invocation context comprises:

requesting, by the partition-aware container, the current component invocation context from the component invocation context manager; and

setting, within the partition-aware container, the current component invocation context.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the current partition is one of the group consisting of one of the one or more partitions, or a global partition, the global partition being associated with the domain.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the application server environment comprises a multi-tenant application server environment, the method further comprising:

associating the one or more partitions with a tenant, for use by the tenant.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored thereon for determination of partition identifiers in an 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, 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;

setting, at a partition-aware container, one or more component invocation contexts;
