In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for managed server independence for deployment (MSI-D) of software applications and libraries, for use in a cloud computing, application server, or other environment. Software applications or libraries can be prepared for deployment as multi-version format application(s) or library(s). A deployment configuration tool enables use of an input file which specifies one or more deployment configuration overrides data that provide additional pieces of information for each MSI-D/multi-version format application and library. A managed server can independently poll for changes to the deployment configuration overrides, for example to update one or more of its deployed applications or libraries, from a first version to a second version. The system can be used to provide eventual consistency of the deployed application and library versions within a plurality of managed servers.

An asynchronous transport enables decoupling the delivery of an operation's request and response messages, from the request and response cycle of a single exchange on the transport. The response message need not be delivered as the response to the initial transport request, but can instead be delivered by the web service to a response endpoint or other location selected by the client, using a new connection originating from the service. In accordance with an embodiment, the client communicates with the web service via request messages that include a SOAP header, formatted according to an XML format, and conveyed using the HTTP. The asynchronous transport automatically deploys, for a client, an endpoint reference that will ultimately receive corresponding response messages. This allows the response to ultimately return to the client application in a manner consistent with the JAX-WS specification, without the developer having to change their original client application.

System and method for extending a web service environment to support scalable asynchronous clients

A system and method for providing a dynamic invocation and service interface for use in a middleware or other environment. At the service-side, messages can be inserted into an inbound processing chain. After service-side inbound processing, messages are given to the user via a provider request function. The user gives a response by using a provider response function that inserts messages into a service-side outbound processing chain. After service-side outbound processing, messages are given to the user's service response transport. On the client side, the user can insert messages into the outbound processing chain using a dispatcher request. After client-side outbound processing, messages are given to the user's client request transport. This decouples message processing from the transport and makes the message processing asynchronous in nature. When the response is received, a user uses a client response transport function to insert the response into the client-side inbound processing chain.

A common handler framework can allow handlers for multiple different types of web services programming models to be used in a single handler chain.
