Methods and systems for automating deployment of applications in a multi-tenant database environment

Non-transitory computer readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a virtual machine having access to a processor and memory, cause the virtual machine to perform operations comprising:

• instantiating at each virtual machine a custom script extension executing via the processor and the memory of the virtual machine to load one or more scripts to the respective virtual machine;
• retrieving, by the custom script extension executing at each virtual machine, a plurality of URL (Uniform Resource Locator) references specifying the one or more scripts to load to the respective virtual machine;
• and
• loading, by the custom script extension executing at each virtual machine, the one or more scripts, as specified by the plurality of URL references, into the memory of the virtual machine by:
• a) allocating an exclusive memory space for each of the one or more scripts within the memory of the virtual machine and by b) uniquely associating a dynamically generated URL class loader for each of the one or more scripts within the exclusive memory space allocated to each of the one or more scripts.

A virtual machine configured to provision one or more scripts, wherein the virtual machine comprises:

• a memory to store instructions;
• a processor to execute the instructions stored in the memory;
• wherein the virtual machine is to instantiate a custom script extension to execute via the processor and the memory of the virtual machine;
• wherein the custom script extension to execute on the virtual machine is to further:
• load one or more scripts onto the virtual machine;
• retrieve a plurality of URL (Uniform Resource Locator) references specifying the one or more scripts to load onto the virtual machine;
• and
• load, via the custom script extension executing at the virtual machine, the one or more scripts, as specified by the plurality of URL references, into the memory of the virtual machine by:
• a) allocating an exclusive memory space for each of the one or more scripts within the memory of the virtual machine and by b) uniquely associating a dynamically generated URL class loader for each of the one or more scripts within the exclusive memory space allocated to each of the one or more scripts.
