Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for deploying a service bus artifact from a local development environment to a service bus instance in a cloud environment. A deployment API can be plugged into the local development environment to perform a plurality of steps required for deploying the service bus artifact, including enabling communication from the local development environment to pass through a corporate firewall. The plurality of steps can be wrapped in a single service call to the service bus instance; and can include creating a session, uploading the service bus artifact, importing the uploaded service bus artifact, executing customization, and activating the session. In the event of a failure of any step, the service call can abort. The deployment API is generic and can be plugged into a plurality of development products.

Claims

1. A system for providing an application programming interface (API) to deploy a service bus artifact from a local development environment to a cloud environment, comprising:

a computer including one or more microprocessors;

an application server in a cloud environment, wherein the application server includes a service bus instance provisioned thereon;

a local development environment for developing a service bus artifact to be deployed to the cloud environment;

a deployment API, plugged into the local development environment, that operates to perform a plurality of operations on the application server at an invocation of a REST service in the local development environment;

wherein the plurality of operations are wrapped into a service call to the service bus instance;

wherein when each operation is successfully completed, the service bus artifact is deployed and activated for execution in the service bus instance.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the local development environment is an interactive development environment (IDE) residing behind one or more enterprise firewalls.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the service bus instance is provisioned as a service, and wherein the cloud environment includes a platform as a service (PaaS) component.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the service call aborts in the event of a failure of any of the plurality of operations.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the deployment API is generic and is pluggable to a plurality of different types of development tools.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of operations performed on the application server include creating a session, uploading the service bus artifact, importing the service bus artifact, customizing configurations, and activating the session.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the service bus instance, in response to the session being activated, operates to return a response that includes deployment status information to the local development environment.

8. A method for providing an application programming interface (API) to deploy a service bus artifact from a local development environment to a cloud environment, comprising:

providing an application server in a cloud environment, wherein the application server includes a service bus instance provisioned thereon;

developing, using a development environment in an on-premises environment, a service bus artifact to be deployed to the cloud environment;

invoking a REST service in the development environment, wherein the REST service calls a deployment API plugged into the development environment to perform a plurality of operations on the application server;

wherein the plurality of operations are wrapped into a service call to the service bus instance; and

wherein when each operation is successfully completed, the service bus artifact is deployed and activated for execution in the service bus instance.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the local development environment is an interactive development environment (IDE) residing behind one or more enterprise firewalls.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the service bus instance is provisioned as a service, and wherein the cloud environment includes a platform as a service (PaaS) component.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the service call aborts in the event of a failure of any of the plurality of operations.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the deployment API is generic and is pluggable to a plurality of different types of development tools.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the plurality of operations performed on the application server include creating a session, uploading the service bus artifact, importing the service bus artifact, customizing configurations, and activating the session.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the service bus instance, in response to the session being activated, operates to return a response that includes deployment status information to the local development environment.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions for providing an application programming interface (API) to deploy a service bus artifact from a local development environment to a cloud environment, said instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

providing an application server in a cloud environment, wherein the application server includes a service bus instance provisioned thereon;

developing, using a development environment in an on-premises environment, a service bus artifact to be deployed to the cloud environment;

invoking a REST service in the development environment, wherein the REST service calls a deployment API plugged into the development environment to perform a plurality of operations on the application server;

wherein the plurality of operations are wrapped into a service call to the service bus instance; and

wherein when each operation is successfully completed, the service bus artifact is deployed and activated for execution in the service bus instance.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the local development environment is an interactive development environment (IDE) residing behind one or more enterprise firewalls.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the service bus instance is provisioned as a service, and wherein the cloud environment includes a platform as a service (PaaS) component.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the service call aborts in the event of a failure of any of the plurality of operations.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the deployment API is generic and is pluggable to a plurality of different types of development tools.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the plurality of operations performed on the application server include creating a session, uploading the service bus artifact, importing the service bus artifact, customizing configurations, and activating the session.
