METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method for managing application containers, comprising: assigning a first application to a master container in a memory of a system; assigning a second application to a slave container in the memory; using a processor, assigning the master and slave containers to a container group by: delegating access to container meta-data of the slave container by a container run-time of the slave container or by the first application to a container meta-data accessor of the master container via a class loader of the master container; and, delegating interaction between the container run-time of the slave container and a container management channel of the slave container to a container management channel of the master container via the class loader of the master container; and, accessing the first and second applications via the container group.
