Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for managing reference counted lifecycles of contexts and dependency injection (CDI) components. The systems and methods described herein provide new constructs that allow for managing and monitoring CDI object lifecycles. Put together, these constructs permit specifications (e.g., JPA) to be fully implemented in a lightweight CDI ecosystem without reliance on typical application servers.

Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, described herein are systems and methods for use with a multi-tenant application server environment, that support provisioning of domain partitions for use with software applications, including the provisioning of partitions with required components. Provisioning requests that are received at a lifecycle manager, and that specify the provisioning of a particular partition, can be communicated to a provisioning framework, for use in provisioning the partition, including where appropriate, the use of component-specific handlers that recognize partition provisioning events or control actions such as, for example, copying files, executing scripts, or updating configurations.
