SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING SERVICE RESOURCES AND FEATURE SETS IN A CLOUD PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing service resources for consumption by an application deployed to a service in a cloud environment. A service definition package (SDP) for the service can specify a dependency on a provider, and include association rules that define actions to be taken with regard to a runtime of the provider. When the service is provisioned, a service resource type which is derived from a provider SDP can be associated with the service. As a result of the association, a service resource can be automatically created from the service resource type in accordance with the association rules, to provide resources for consumption by the application. In accordance with an embodiment, the provider SDP can include a plurality of feature sets associated with different sets of configurable properties, which allows different provider types or service resource types to be created.
