Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, a system and method provides a messaging service in a multitenant application server environment. Deployable resources are usable within the multitenant application server environment and groupings of resources are defined by resource group templates within a domain. One or more partitions are provided, with each partition providing an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain that can be associated with a tenant. Java message service (JMS) resources are defined within a resource group template or a resource group, and instantiated within a partition to enable messaging for applications deployed within the partition and between partitions. Integrating JMS in a multitenant application server environment further includes a foreign JMS server feature which maps remotely hosted JMS connection factories and JMS destinations into a local partition'"'"'s JNDI, so that bridges and applications in turn gain access to these resources by looking them up in this name-space.

Claims

1. A system for integrating JMS in a multitenant 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,

one or more resource group templates, which define groupings of deployable resources within a domain, and

one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain, that can be associated with a tenant;

and

a foreign JMS server feature which maps remotely hosted JMS connection factories and JMS destinations into a local partition'"'"'s JNDI, so that bridges and applications in turn gain access to these resources by looking them up in this name-space.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the foreign JMS server can be configured to reference the JNDI name of a hosted data source.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the hosted data source is hosted at an application server.

4. A method for integrating JMS 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,

one or more resource group templates, which define groupings of deployable resources within a domain, and

one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain that can be associated with a tenant; and

providing a foreign JMS server feature which maps remotely hosted JMS connection factories and JMS destinations into a local partition'"'"'s JNDI, so that bridges and applications in turn gain access to these resources by looking them up in this name-space.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the foreign JMS server can be configured to reference the JNDI name of a hosted data source.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the hosted data source is hosted at an application server.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored thereon which when read and executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform the steps comprising:

providing an application server environment, together with

a plurality of deployable resources which can be used within the application server environment,

one or more resource group templates, which define groupings of deployable resources within a domain, and

one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain that can be associated with a tenant; and

providing a foreign JMS server feature which maps remotely hosted JMS connection factories and JMS destinations into a local partition'"'"'s JNDI, so that bridges and applications in turn gain access to these resources by looking them up in this name-space.

8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein the foreign JMS server can be configured to reference the JNDI name of a hosted data source.

9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the hosted data source is hosted at an application server.
