Method and apparatus for using unspecialized software micro-containers for building complex dynamic business processes

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates using unspecialized software micro-containers to build complex dynamic business processes. During operation, the system receives a command to execute a business logic at a computer system. In response to the command, the system initializes an unspecialized software micro-container from a pool of unspecialized software micro-containers. Next, the system retrieves the business logic from a business logic repository. The system then loads the business logic into the unspecialized software micro-container. Finally, the system executes the business logic in the unspecialized software micro-container. Note that the requestor publishes the desired business process in the repository, and the system, represented by the unspecialized containers, self-organizes to execute the job without additional management.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for using unspecialized software micro-containers to build complex dynamic business processes, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computer system, a command to execute a business logic; in response to the command, initializing an unspecialized software micro container from a pool of unspecialized software micro-containers, wherein an unspecialized software micro-container has the ability to interpret and execute business logic and perform a business function, and the ability to proactively search for and interpret specializing configuration and business logic; retrieving the business logic from a business logic repository; loading the business logic into the unspecialized software micro-container; executing the business logic in the unspecialized software micro-container; unloading the business logic; and returning the unspecialized software micro-container to the pool of unspecialized software micro-containers.
