Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, systems and methods for session handling in a multitenant application server environment are provided. The ability to replicate a session is important but equally so is the ability to ensure the session is successfully deserialized on some server in order to serve the request. After a server has been shut down, the front end can fail over the request to one of the remaining server members in a cluster. Once the server receives the request it can attempt to grab the session from a server that holds a copy of that session. When a patched or unpatched server attempts to load the session that originated from a server of the opposite state, it can fail to deserialize the session, and inform the traffic director of severs in the cluster that are capable of deserializing the session.
Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting clustering in a multitenant application server environment. The system includes a domain with a plurality of server clusters, and a plurality of partitions, wherein each cluster is homogenously configured and targeted by one or more partitions. An application programming interface (API) can be used to initiate a resource group across-cluster migration within a partition. The API can invoke a replication manager, which queries a target cluster for a runtime topology for use in determining where to store primary session; migrates the primary session to a determined server instance in the target cluster. Additional clustering features, such as cluster messaging service, leasing service, singleton service management, session replication, clustered JNDI, and use of domain front-end load balancing, can be supported.
Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for handling lazy deserialization exceptions in an application server environment. When a stateful, e.g., EJB client request arrives to the EJB container, if the container detects that it cannot deserialize the state on this server and a patching (Patching, Zero Downtime Patching, ZDT) application upgrade rollout is in progress, the container can ask the replication manager to replicate the bean state to a new secondary that is in the opposite ZDT failover server group of this server, if it can find one. A remote reference of the replica on the new secondary will be set to a special type exception, which carries the replica's remote reference to the client side, in order to fulfill the client request.
