Abstract
A system and method for integrating different virtual machines (“VMs”). A first VM is loaded into an Application Server (“AS”) instance. The first VM includes standard features accessible through a standard native interface. A second VM is loaded into the AS instance including the standard features and extended features. The standard features provided by the second VM are accessed by native platform entities through a standardized native interface. The extended features provided by the second VM are accessed by the native platform entities through an adaptation interface.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- loading a first virtual machine (“VM”) including standard features within an application server (“AS”) instance;
- loading a second VM including the standard features and extended features within the AS instance;
- accessing the standard features provided by the first and second VM by native platform entities through standardized native interfaces;
- and
- accessing the extended features provided by the second VM by native platform entities through an adaptation interface.
An application server (“AS”) system, comprising:
- a first virtual machine (“VM”) providing standard features;
- a second VM providing the standard features and extended features not supported by the first VM;
- first and second standardized native interfaces (“SNI”) linked to enable native platform entities to interoperate with the standard features of the first and second VMs, respectively;
- and
- an adaptation interface linked to enable the native platform entities to interoperate with the extended features of the second VM, not accessible through the SNI.
A machine-accessible medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a machine, will cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- loading a first virtual machine (“VM”) including standard features within An application server (“AS”) instance;
- loading a second VM including the standard features and extended features within the AS instance;
- accessing the standard features provided by the first and second VM by native platform entities through a standardized native interface;
- and
- accessing the extended features of the second VM by native platform entities through an adaptation interface.
