  • Patent number: 11070559
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting object-based security features for use with messaging services in an application server environment. Credentials can be associated with a JNDI initial context or a JMS connection instead of a thread. For JNDI operations, a lookup call from the initial context can use a security subject in an initial context regardless of a security subject attached to a current thread of the lookup call. For JMS operations, the object-based security model can be enabled on a JMS connection factory, which is used to create a JMS connection associated a security subject based on credentials supplied to create the JMS connection. The JMS connection performs a plurality of JMS operations on different threads using the security subject. The object-based security model is automatically enabled for JMS connection operations once the JMS is accessed using an OBS-enabled JNDI context.

  • Patent number: 10715472
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system and method provides a messaging service implementing a unit-of-order guarantee in a multitenant application server environment. The system and method of implementing unit-of-order utilizes an improved path service for routing all messages having a particular unit-of-order to the same member of the cluster. The improved path service allows for scalability of the cluster and reduced resource utilization, thereby improving the performance of a clustered computing system providing the messaging service.

  • Patent number: 10474998
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system and method provides a messaging service in a multitenant application server environment. Deployable resources are usable within the multitenant application server environment and groupings of resources are defined by resource group templates within a domain. One or more partitions are provided, with each partition providing an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain that can be associated with a tenant. Java message service (JMS) resources are defined within a resource group template or a resource group, and instantiated within a partition from the one or more partitions to enable messaging for applications deployed within the partition and between the one or more partition.

  • Patent number: 10476938
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system and method provides a messaging service in a multitenant application server environment that includes a domain configuration defining an application server domain for execution of the software applications, and one or more partitions of the domain. Each partition is associated with a partition configuration and provides a subdivision of the domain. One or more resource groups enable partition-specific information for one or more deployable resources. Java message service (JMS) resources are defined within a resource group, and instantiated within a partition to enable messaging for applications deployed within the partition and between partitions. A custom store is defined within each of the resource groups for use by the JMS resources. Components of the custom store are fully partition scoped.
