Dynamic extensible application server management

摘要

An administrative control interface is provided that controls deployed application server plugins that operate within an application-server plugin framework deployed at a group of application servers. The administrative control interface controls dynamic adjustment of runtime application server plugin configurations that perform request-level management and server-level management of the group of application servers. Request-level application server functionality and server-level application server functionality of at least one of the group of application servers is controlled using at least one of the deployed application server plugins as specified by application-server plugin commands received from the administrative control interface.

1. A method, comprising:
providing, by a processor, a real-time plugin command-driven administrative control interface that controls, by issuing real-time application-server plugin commands to deployed application server plugins from within an application-server plugin framework deployed at a plurality of application servers, dynamic adjustment of runtime application server plugin operations that cause the respective deployed application server plugins to perform direct runtime request-level control operations and direct runtime server-level control operations that augment runtime application server operational functionality of the plurality of application servers with respect to accesses at an application layer within the respective application servers and accesses to individual applications executed by the respective application servers; and augmenting, by issuing a real-time application-server plugin command received via the real-time plugin command-driven administrative control interface to at least one of the deployed application server plugins, one of request-level application server operational functionality and server-level application server operational functionality of at least one of the plurality of application servers with respect to one of the accesses to the application layer within the respective application servers and the accesses to the individual applications executed by the respective application servers.
