Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing an end-to-end lifecycle in a multi-tenant application server environment. A lifecycle manager enables configuration integration across different components, for example application servers, traffic directors or load balancers, and database or other components, which may have their own partition-specific configurations. In accordance with an embodiment, the end-to-end lifecycle infrastructure includes a plugin-based mechanism which enables the different components within a multi-tenant application server environment to use a lifecycle plugin to provide their own component-specific lifecycle functionality. In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes support for a tenant onboarding functionality, which can be used to onboard a tenant for a service to a particular partition. In accordance with an embodiment, the system supports the use of a global runtime within the multi-tenant application server environment.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for RESTful management distributed collection in an application server environment. Distributed collection can be used to improve the performance of REST searches that fan-out across servers, by having the managed servers assist in the fan-out, instead of having the admin server fan-out to each managed server directly.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for providing and administering a partitionable environment for operating application software. The environment is provided together with a plurality of deployable resources usable within the environment and one or more resource group templates. Each resource group template defines a grouping of the deployable resources within a domain. An administration console is usable to create and configure one or more partitions within the domain, with each partition providing an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain. The administration console can be set to display the one or more partitions and enable creation and configuration of specific artifacts within the one or more partitions.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system and method for supporting RESTful management in an application server environment for operating application software includes an interface configured to receive input for interacting with the application server environment. When a request to manage the application server environment is received, REST resources are dynamically generated using bean trees and other bean information within the application server environment. The REST resources are then usable as input to the interface to manage the application server environment.

Abstract: A system for integrated computer software application development and modeling is herein described. The integrated system includes an expert system that can be supplied as a software plug-in to assist a software developer in designing and constructing software applications using uniform modeling language (UML) object modeling. In one embodiment the plug-in works with Rational Software Corporation's Rational Rose modeling product and can be used to develop software applications for use with M3 and the Weblogic family of transaction and application server products from BEA Systems, Inc, and with other third-party software systems.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for computer code generation that can be used to generate code and configuration files from any data source. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention a Generator Framework provides a common set of standards and APIs through which designs may be input. The purpose of the Generator Framework is to unify the code generation techniques implemented in products such as the Builder products from BEA Systems, Inc., by introducing sufficient abstraction levels. Built-in rules are introduced in the Generator Framework, and a data navigation layer isolates the Generator Framework from the data sources used. Filters can be added to the framework to transform data. Notifiers are used by the Generator Framework to notify external components about the generation process.
