A method, system, and/or computer program product manages a set of software modules in a software runtime environment, where the set of software modules has one or more dynamic dependencies and one or more static dependencies. Each software module having a static dependency on another software module in a set of software modules is identified. Each subset of the set of software modules that is interdependent with another subset due to static dependencies between subsets is identified. In response to a change in state of a module in an identified subset, the change in state is applied to all modules in the identified subset.

Managing a set of software modules in a software runtime environment

A method of performing message operations includes receiving a message operation request identifying a queue, retrieving a list of the subset of partitions associated with the alias received in the request, and selecting at least one of the partitions within the retrieved subset. According to the method, the queue includes a plurality of partitions, the request identifies the queue with an alias, and the alias having a subset of the plurality of partitions associated therewith.
