  • Patent number: 10452387
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are a system and method for partition-scoped patching in an application server environment. A computer environment includes an application server, for example a multitenant application server, that supports the use of one or more partitions, wherein each partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain. During a partition-scoped rollout of a patch or update, to a resource group or application within a plurality of servers or clusters of servers, the resource group or application can be updated within a targeted partition, using a patch orchestrator and partition lifecycle runtime interface, without affecting the operation of other partitions at those servers or clusters of servers. One or more session handling flags can be used, to enable sessions and/or requests that are associated with the targeted partition, to be handled by a traffic director, during the patching process.

  • Patent number: 10375855
    Abstract: Systems and methods for zero power automatic thermal regulation are provided. In one embodiment, a method for passive thermal management comprises: establishing thermal conductivity between a self-heating electronic device and a cooling fluid held within a fluid reservoir via a thermal interface; using thermally controlled expansion of the cooling fluid, controlling a length of a column of the cooling fluid extending into at least one channel extending from the fluid reservoir, wherein the channel provides a non-recirculating path for the cooling fluid to expand into, and wherein the length of a column of the cooling fluid is thermally controlled using heat absorbed by the cooling fluid from the self-heating electronic device; and selectively establishing a primary heat path between the electronic device and a heat sink interface thermally coupled to an external environment as a function of the length of the column of the cooling fluid within the channel.

  • Patent number: 10310841
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for handling lazy deserialization exceptions in an application server environment. When a stateful, e.g., EJB client request arrives to the EJB container, if the container detects that it cannot deserialize the state on this server and a patching (Patching, Zero Downtime Patching, ZDT) application upgrade rollout is in progress, the container can ask the replication manager to replicate the bean state to a new secondary that is in the opposite ZDT failover server group of this server, if it can find one. A remote reference of the replica on the new secondary will be set to a special type exception, which carries the replica's remote reference to the client side, in order to fulfill the client request.
