20110213870 | PROVIDING SERVICES TO MULTIPLE TENANTS OF AN APPLICATION - A method, system and computer program product for providing a service to multiple tenants of an application. Responsive to receiving from a client of a tenant a request, a tenant context of the tenant is bound to the request. With respect to an access to an isolation point of the application in the request, the access to the isolation point is redirected to a partition based on the tenant context bound to the request. The partition may be pre-established for the tenant with respect to the application. Hence, it is possible to provide a multi-tenant solution in a convenient, fast, and cost-effective way, and, in turn, to achieve resource sharing to a greater extent and enhance the resource efficiency. | 09-01-2011 |
20120254885 | RUNNING A PLURALITY OF INSTANCES OF AN APPLICATION - Running of a root instance of an application is started. The root instance includes at least one thread. In response to determining that a thread of the root instance runs to a preset freezing point in the application, running of all threads of the root instance is stopped. In response to starting to run an additional instance of the application, a running state of all threads of the root instance is replicated as a running state of all threads of the additional instance of the application. Running all threads of the additional instance of the application is continued. | 10-04-2012 |
