20120066459 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ZERO BUFFER COPYING IN A MIDDLEWARE ENVIRONMENT - Systems and methods are provided for zero buffer copying. In accordance with an embodiment, such a system can include one or more high performance computing systems, each including one or more processors and a high performance memory. The system can further include a user space, which includes a Java virtual machine (JVM) and one or more application server instances. Additionally, the system can include a plurality of byte buffers accesible to the JVM and the one or more application server instances. When a request is received by a first application server instance data associated with the request is stored in a heap space associated with the JVM, and the JVM pins the portion of the heap space where the data is stored. The data is pushed to a first byte buffer where it is accessed by the first application server instance. A response is generated by the first application server using the data, and the response is sent by the first application server. | 03-15-2012 |
20120066460 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SCATTER/GATHER DATA PROCESSING IN A MIDDLEWARE ENVIRONMENT - Systems and methods are provided for providing scatter/gather data processing. In accordance with an embodiment, a such a system can include a cluster of one or more high performance computing systems, each including one or more processors and a high performance memory. The cluster communicates over an InfiniBand network. The system can also include a middleware environment, executing on the cluster, that includes one or more application server instances. The system can further include a plurality of muxers. Each application server instance includes at least one muxer, and each muxer is operable to collect data from a plurality of locations in the high performance memory, and transfer the data in bulk. | 03-15-2012 |
20120144045 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ONE-WAY REMOTE METHOD INVOCATION FOR SESSION REPLICATION IN A SERVER CLUSTER - A system and method can support one-way Remote Method Invocation (RMI) session replication in a middleware machine environment, such as a server cluster. The server cluster can include a primary application server and a secondary application server. The primary application server receives a request with a session from a client, maintain the session information, and replicate the session information to a secondary application server using one-way Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The primary application server can then respond to the client based on the session information after receiving a return message of the one-way RMI from a network socket associate with the primary application server. The benefit of using one-way RMI is that the primary application server does not have to wait for an acknowledgment from the secondary application server instance, since the underlying transport protocol guarantees that the session data has been successfully transmitted to the second server instance. | 06-07-2012 |
20120239730 | SYSTEM INCLUDING A MIDDLEWARE MACHINE ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for providing a middleware machine or similar platform. In accordance with an embodiment the system (referred to herein in some implementations as “Exalogic”) comprises a combination of high performance hardware, together with an application server or middleware environment, to provide a complete Java EE application server complex which includes a massively parallel in-memory grid, can be provisioned quickly, and can scale on demand. In accordance with an embodiment, the system can be deployed as a full, half, or quarter rack, or other configuration, that provides an application server grid, storage area network, and InfiniBand network, which support the execution of an application server, middleware or other functionality such as, for example, WebLogic Server, JRockit or Hotspot JVM, Oracle Linux or Solaris, and Oracle VM. Additional features of the system can include, e.g. Zero Buffer Copies, Scatter/Gather I/O, T3 Connections, and Lazy Deserialization. | 09-20-2012 |
20120254383 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA NODES IN AN APPLICATION SERVER - Described herein are systems and methods for managing nodes in a data grid from within an application server. The system includes an application server having an administrative user interface, and a data grid including a plurality of nodes operating as a cluster, wherein each node in the data grid has node attributes that define node functionality. A configuration repository provided by the application server is accessible to the administrative user interface, and stores configuration information used by the administrative user interface to directly manage the plurality of nodes in the data grid. Upon receiving interpreted configuration information from the application server at a node manager client on the application server, the node manager client modifies the operation of the plurality of nodes in the data grid by overriding node attributes according to the interpreted configuration information, wherein the plurality of nodes thereafter operate according to the configuration information. | 10-04-2012 |
20120254436 | INTEGRATION OF AN APPLICATION SERVER AND DATA GRID - Described herein are systems and methods for providing a software application executing on an application server direct access to at least one of a distributed data or distributed service provided by a data grid. The system includes an application server having software applications executing thereon, and a data grid including a plurality of nodes, wherein each of the plurality of nodes is adapted to provide at least one of a distributed data or distributed service. A resource configuration specified by one of a resource annotation added in the software applications or a resource reference defined in a deployment descriptor of said software applications is provided. Upon deployment of the software applications, the resource configuration is used by the system to provide the software applications direct access the distributed data and the distributed services provided by the data grid. | 10-04-2012 |
20130239004 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN IN-MEMORY DATA GRID APPLICATION CONTAINER - A system and method for providing an in-memory data grid application container, for use with an application server, is described herein. In accordance with an embodiment, an application server, such as WebLogic Server (WLS), can be used to host data grid applications, such as Coherence applications (in which case the application container can be referred to as a Coherence container), and deliver the same benefits that regular Java Enterprise Edition (EE) applications derive from being hosted in a WLS environment. A model for creating combined Java EE and data grid applications can also be provided, by merging the programming, packaging, and deployment models used for data grid with existing Java EE models. | 09-12-2013 |
20140108645 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING A SELECTION SERVICE IN A SERVER ENVIRONMENT - A system and method can support socket programming in a server environment, such as a distributed data grid. The server environment can include a selection service that operates to register a plurality of sockets, wherein each said socket is associated with a handler in a plurality of handlers. Furthermore, the selection service can listen for one or more incoming connection requests on the plurality of sockets, and invoke a pluggable callback provided by a said handler associated with a registered socket in the plurality of sockets, when said registered socket receives an incoming connection request. | 04-17-2014 |
20140108664 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING PORT MULTIPLEXING IN A SERVER ENVIRONMENT - A system and method can support port multiplexing in a server environment, e.g. in a distributed data grid. The server environment can comprise a port to receive one or more request, wherein the port is adapted to be associated with different port address values and the port operates to receive one or more connection requests. Additionally, the server environment allows a plurality of sockets to utilize the different port address values to support multiplexing of sockets over the port, and a multiplexed socket provider can be used to provide the plurality of sockets. | 04-17-2014 |
