A method is described that inserts first and second deployment descriptors into an application archive file. The first deployment descriptor conforms to a first document type definition that is defined by a standard specification. The second deployment descriptor conforms to a second document type definition that is not defined by the standard specification. The second deployment descriptor has an element that is directed to a service that is an extension to the services offered by an environment described by the standard specification. The first and second deployment descriptors provide configuration information selected from the group consisting of: a) configuration information that pertains to the application as a whole; and, b) configuration information that pertains to a web application portion of the application.

Non specification supported application deployment descriptors and web application deployment descriptors

Various embodiments of systems and methods for providing extended file storage for cloud applications are described herein. The method involves receiving a deployment request from a cloud application for file storage service, at the time of deployment. The deployment request includes information identifying a local folder and a mode of storage. The metadata relating to the information in the deployment request is stored in a persistent storage. Further, in response to receiving a start request to run the cloud application an application virtual machine is allocated and a block level storage volume is identified and attached to the application virtual machine. Further, the identified block level storage volume is mapped to the local folder identified in the stored metadata and the application virtual machine running the cloud application is started. The block level storage volume mapped to the local folder is accessed by application processes for performing read/write operations.

Providing extended file storage for applications

Various embodiments of systems and methods for remote method invocation (RMI) tunneling over hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) are described herein. RMI client uses HTTP client to send a protocol message in the body of an HTTP request to a special application on a server. The application dispatches the content of the message to RMI service of the server to handle remote call. RMI response may be sent in the HTTP response of the same HTTP request or some of the further requests. RMI callbacks initiated from the server back to the client are also delivered in an HTTP response of a client's HTTP request.

Remote method invocation tunneling over hypertext transfer protocol

A system and method for integrating a diverse set of web/remote user interface technologies into one runtime architecture using a Web container extension is described. This integration simplifies execution, cross-usage, and technology integration between different user interface technologies and other application server offerings.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for internal server error analysis. One process includes operations for identifying an internal server error associated with a particular type of error and returned by a web container. A counter of the number of internal server errors returned by the web container is incremented. The internal server error is also associated with an internal categorization of the particular type of internal server error, and the occurrence of the internal server error is added to a categorization entry generated based on the internal categorization of the error.

A system for an accounting infrastructure, including monitoring and reporting, for individual services within a composite service. An accounting engine integrates with the composite service to monitor components and parameters of at least one service in the composite service, to provide reporting on the measurements and statistics associated therewith over time. The accounting engine aggregates data for components and services. One example provides the accounting infrastructure as an object-oriented program model, instantiating statistics as objects. The reporting distinguishes each statistic allowing analysis and optimization of processes and services.

Service accounting method and apparatus for composite service

Improved authentication service schemes are described. A first technique enables application specific authentication services even if container-wide authentication services are made available. A second technique prevents an authentication service from being performed if an attempt is made to reach an item of insensitivity within a protected area. A third technique introduces 'get/set' functions into a login module callback handler arrangement for retrieving/imposing information from/to a communication session with a user that the login module is authenticating. A fourth technique distributes a login context function so that a network resides between separate portions of the login context function. A fifth technique uses a fallback handler in an application based authentication service so that a container-wide authentication service can be used.

Authentication service schemes

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for managing connections. A filter may receive a client request message having one or more parameters. In an embodiment, the filter may modify the request message based, at least in part, on the one or more parameters. The modified request message may indicate that a connection to the client is to remain open after a corresponding response message is sent. In an embodiment, the modified request message is passed to an application for processing.

System and method for managing connections

According to one aspect of the invention, a hierarchy of security domains and a method for granting a user access to the security domains are provided. The hierarchy of security domains includes multiple security levels and relationships between particular security domains. When a user is authenticated and/or authorized for access to a first security domain, the user is tagged as having been granted access to that security domain. If the user attempts to access a related security domain with a lower security level, the user is granted access without having to be re-authenticated and/or re-authorized. If the user attempts to access a related security domain with a higher security level, the user must be re-authenticated and/or re-authorized be access is granted to the security domain with the higher security level.
