Abstract: A generator mechanism for generating an administration framework for server systems. In one embodiment, the administration framework may be generated from meta-information that describes elements of configuration data and relationships among the elements. The mechanism may provide automatic generation of the administration framework. In one embodiment, the administration framework may be a stack on an administration server that includes several layers each including one or more generated components. In one embodiment, the generation mechanism may generate management beans of a management layer, representing business logic of the server; configuration beans of a data representation layer; and a presentation layer for accessing and administering generated components. The data representation layer may provide transparency to the persistent store for the other layers. A production generation of the administration framework may be performed and instances of generated components may be deployed on other servers.

Abstract: A dynamic administration framework for server systems. A generation mechanism may generate one or more components of the administration framework from meta-information describing persistently stored configuration information. Components providing an in-memory representation of configuration information and components representing business logic of the server may be generated. A user interface may be generated which may be used to administer the generated components. A configuration API may be provided that provides a transparent interface to the persistent store, abstracting storage format and location from clients of the configuration API. A generated administration framework may be compiled with application server or system-specific components. The compiled system may then be used at runtime. One embodiment may include an event notification mechanism that may allow changes in configuration data to be propagated to one or more servers.
