Abstract
A method performed by a computing system includes executing a web application container and in response to determining that a runtime web application for the web application container is not locally accessible, prompting a user for credentials. The method further includes sending the credentials to a configuration server and after sending the credentials to the configuration server, receiving a target uniform resource locator (URL). The target URL may point to a runtime web application on a first runtime web application server. The method further includes downloading the runtime web application to the computing system and executing the runtime web application.
Claims20
A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
- executing a web application container;
- in response to determining that a runtime web application for the web application container is not locally accessible, prompting a user for credentials;
- sending the credentials to a configuration server;
- after sending the credentials to the configuration server, receiving a target uniform resource locator (URL), the target URL pointing to a runtime web application on a first runtime web application server;
- downloading the runtime web application to the computing system;
- and
- executing the runtime web application.
A method performed by a runtime web application server, the method comprising:
- receiving authentication data from a configuration server, the authentication data being associated with a first entity, the runtime web application server maintaining a plurality of runtime web applications associated with different entities, the configuration server configured to receive the authentication data from a bootstrap application running on a client device associated with the first entity;
- confirming the authentication data in response to matching the authentication data to a database within the runtime web application server;
- receiving a request from the client device to download one of the plurality of runtime web applications;
- and
- in response to the request, downloading the one of the plurality of runtime web applications to the client device.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to:
- in response to determining that no runtime web application for a web application container is locally accessible, execute a bootstrap application within the web application container;
- send credentials obtained from a user to a configuration server;
- after sending the credentials to the configuration server, receive a target uniform resource locator (URL), the target URL pointing to a runtime web application on a first runtime web application server;
- and
- download the runtime web application.
