In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for resource isolation and consumption in an application server environment. The system can provide, at one or more computers, including an application server environment executing thereon, a plurality of 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. The system can also configure a resource consumption management module to monitor each partition's usage of the plurality of resources. The resource consumption management module can comprise at least one member of the group consisting of resource reservations, resource constraints, and resource notifications.

System and method for resource isolation and consumption in a multitenant application server environment

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing multitenancy support in a platform as a service or cloud computing environment. A platform component enables a service runtime to be shared by multiple tenants, by providing each tenant with a dedicated share or slice of a runtime instance. Each share/slice can be isolated from other shares/slices with respect to factors such as, for example, configuration, or quality of service. In accordance with an embodiment, during provisioning of a particular service runtime, a runtime definition associated with the service runtime can be utilized, for example by a service management engine, to configure the platform component to install one or more services within the service runtime. A particular service and its service runtimes can also be provisioned, within one or more runtime pools, according to a service runtime definition and placement configuration.

System and method for placement logic in a cloud platform environment

Described herein are systems and methods for integrating a database into a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a system includes a service management engine (SME) configured to execute in the cloud environment and to access a provider type including coordinates to a database and authentication information for the database. When a service deployed to the cloud environment requests use of a database, the provider type can trigger creation of the database and a schema for use by the associated provider. In accordance with an embodiment, the provider type can include coordinates to a container database (CDB) and authentication information for the CDB. When a service deployed in the cloud environment requests a database, the provider type can trigger creation, via the CDB, of a pluggable database (PDB), with a schema for use by the service.

System and method for integrating a database with a service deployed on a cloud platform

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing service resources for consumption by an application deployed to a service in a cloud environment. A service definition package (SDP) for the service can specify a dependency on a provider, and include association rules that define actions to be taken with regard to a runtime of the provider. When the service is provisioned, a service resource type which is derived from a provider SDP can be associated with the service. As a result of the association, a service resource can be automatically created from the service resource type in accordance with the association rules, to provide resources for consumption by the application. In accordance with an embodiment, the provider SDP can include a plurality of feature sets associated with different sets of configurable properties, which allows different provider types or service resource types to be created.

System and method for supporting service resources and feature sets in a cloud platform environment

Described herein is a system and method for supporting a webtier provider in a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, the service types made available in a cloud platform (e.g., CloudLogic) domain can include information which describes dependency on a webtier provider, which in turn provides load-balancing capability to a service whose deployment may span multiple virtual machines. A webtier provider can associate one or more provisioned services with a webtier runtime, to satisfy the webtier dependency of a service. After a service is provisioned, a webtier provider service management engine (SME) can associate the service with a webtier runtime by creating a configuration therein. The webtier runtime can subsequently provide a single point of access to the service, including load-balancing requests to service nodes, or providing support for additional capabilities such as failure detection and failover.

System and method for webtier providers in a cloud platform environment

A system and method for providing service definition packages for use with a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a cloud platform enables provisioning of enterprise software applications (e.g., Fusion Middleware applications) within a cloud environment. In an embodiment, enterprise applications can be packaged as service definition packages (SDP). Each SDP can include an application binary component, a metadata defining the application's service characteristics and requirements, and a plugin that enables the SDP to be installed into the cloud platform. The SDP can also include a virtual assembly that defines a topology and configuration for a set of virtual appliances. The application, as defined by its SDP, can be instantiated as one or more services that are then accessible by other (e.g., customer) applications within the cloud environment.

System and method for service definition packages for use with a cloud computing environment

A method, system, and medium are disclosed for performing transparent failover in a cluster server system. The cluster includes a plurality of servers. In servicing a client request, a primary server replicates session data for the client into memory space of one or more backup servers. The primary server sends a response to the client, wherein the response includes an indication of the one or more backup servers. When the client sends a subsequent request, it includes an indication of the backup servers. If the primary server is unavailable, the cluster determines a recovery server from among the backup servers indicated by the request. The chosen recovery server would then service the request.
