A system and method for partition administrative (admin) targeting in an application server, cloud, or other computing environment. An application server can include one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain. An administrative virtual target associated with a partition enables an administrator to identify an administrative resource group, including one or more administrative applications or resources, for use with the partition. A partition administrative lifecycle state (e.g., SHUTDOWN) can be associated with various substates (e.g., BOOTED or HALTED). When a partition is associated with a first state or substate (e.g., SHUTDOWN.BOOTED), the administrative resource group in that partition continues to run at an associated target, while other resource groups are shut down. When a partition is associated with a second state or substate (e.g., SHUTDOWN.HALTED), all of the resource groups, including administrative resource groups, in that partition are shut down.

System and method for partition administrative targeting in an application server environment

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting the use of configuration tagging in a multitenant application server environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a user interface is provided which displays a domain structure, including partitions and target systems, and enables components of the domain to be associated with user-specified tags that are received from an administrator, including for example, a first component associated with a first set of one or more tag(s), and a second component associated with a second set of one or more tag(s), which are then associated with the corresponding domain component. For example, a virtual target or target system can be associated with a tag such as 'Gold', 'Silver' or &#x201c;Bronze&#x201d;. The tagged components can then be associated with the creation or definition of a partition.

System and method for configuration tagging in a multitenant application server environment

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting the use of partition templates in a multitenant application server environment. A partition template, including a partition configurator and/or attributes, can be used to configure partitions deployed to a domain using that partition template. When a request is received to create a new partition, a selected partition template is determined. The partition configurator of that partition template is then used to configure and deploy the partition to the domain at a corresponding virtual target, which in turn is associated with a target system (e.g., a computer server, or a cluster). A plurality of partition templates can be provided, wherein each partition template can include its own partition configurator and/or attributes that can be used to configure partitions deployed to the domain using that partition template, including different configuration attributes for each partition template.
