Abstract
A method, system and computer program product are provided for refreshing a software component without interruption. The method includes detecting when a current instance of the software component is inactive and activating a refresh process of the software component in parallel to the current instance, including starting a new instance of the software component. The method further includes monitoring a state of the current instance and, when the current instance ceases to be inactive, canceling the refresh process. The method includes determining that the refresh process is complete and switching from the current instance to the new instance of the software component.
