Computer System and Method for Resolving Dependencies in a Computer System

A computer system, comprising:

• a runtime environment arranged to execute a plurality of application programs with respect to a plurality of resources;
• and
• a deployment unit arranged to deploy the plurality of application programs into the runtime environment, wherein each of the application programs has a set of dependencies upon one or more of the plurality of resources and the deployment unit deploys each of the application programs according to the set of dependencies;
• wherein the deployment unit comprises:
• a detecting unit which detects a trigger condition in relation to a first resource of the plurality of resources when deploying one of the application programs with respect to the first resource;
• a cloning unit which clones the first resource to create a first cloned resource, in response to the trigger condition being detected by the detecting unit;
• a transforming unit which transforms the dependencies of the application program to replace the dependencies on the first resource and instead with dependencies on the first cloned resource;
• and
• a resolving unit which creates a set of wirings between the application program and the plurality of resources upon which the application program depends, including creating wirings with the cloned first resource according to the transformed dependencies of the application program.
