PERSISTENT APPLICATION ACTIVATION AND TIMER NOTIFICATIONS

摘要

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for persistent application activation and timer notifications. A durable instance manager, instance execution hosts, and an instance store interoperate to transition instances between executing and persisted states. System properties are associated with an instance. System properties can define re-activation conditions, that when satisfied, indicate that an instance is to be re-activated for execution. System properties can define timers as well as indications that instances are in a persisted but ready to run state.
