Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention applications are configured with custom modules. A deployment descriptor of an application includes a definition for a new container type and modules of the new container type. A deployment system reads the deployment descriptor and implements the modules of the new container type. The new containers are then available to assist in the deployment of the application.

A method for deploying an application on a server, comprising:
- storing in a deployment descriptor for the application a definition for a new container type and one or more module declarations, wherein the new container type is not among a plurality of container types associated with the server;
- storing in an archive file one or more modules associated with the plurality of associated container types and one or more modules associated with the new container type;
- creating one or more containers for the one or more modules associated with the plurality of associated container types and one or more containers of the new container type for the one or more modules associated with the new container type;
- and
- deploying the one or more modules associated with the plurality of associated container types into their respective containers and the one or more modules associated with the new container type into their respective containers of the new container type.

A computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions for deploying an application on a server, the instructions comprising:
- storing in a deployment descriptor for the application a definition for a new container type and one or more module declarations, wherein the new container type is not among a plurality of container types associated with the server;
- storing in an archive file one or more modules associated with the plurality of associated container types and one or more modules associated with the new container type;
- creating one or more containers for the one or more modules associated with the plurality of associated container types and one or more containers of the new container type for the one or more modules associated with the new container type;
- and
- deploying the one or more modules associated with the plurality of associated container types into their respective containers and the one or more modules associated with the new container type into their respective containers of the new container type.
