Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for behavior injection in a cloud computing platform (cloud platform) or software application, including the use of injection points to modify the operation or behavior of a tenant platform environment. An injection service enables a cloud platform provider to configure software code/behaviors to be injected into cloud platform modules or other components associated with tenants, including mapping, for a tenant-specific globally unique identifier (GUID) associated with a lifecycle activity injection point, a behavior including a platform code or process and metadata that can be used to inject and modify operation of a corresponding module. The described approach enables a cloud platform to expose behavioral aspects of the cloud platform or a software application executing therein, so that they can be controlled or modified in a dynamic manner, from outside of the cloud platform.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods identifying capabilities and limitations of an orchestration based application integration. The systems and methods described herein can detect and publish/expose such a set of limitations and capabilities of the adapters/connectors to the integration platform. In this way, such metadata can be used, for example, by a user of an integration system in designing an integration of applications, or in selecting an orchestration, based upon, e.g., the published metadata that indicates the capabilities of the individual adapters/connectors, or the orchestration as a whole (or parts thereof). This way, once an orchestration is active for processing requests, then it can also publish a metadata considering the metadata of involved adapters. This metadata can be used in adjusting requests to an integration.
