System and method for hot deployment/redeployment in grid computing environment

摘要

A technique for hot deploying/redeploying applications in a grid computing environment to improve operating efficiency and reduced overhead. In one example embodiment, this is accomplished by notifying a client application manager associated with each of one or more grid nodes about a type of data transfer protocol to use upon receiving a new version of an application release bundle by a repository server. The new version of the application release bundle is then hot deployed/redeployed on running one or more application servers in the associated grid using an appropriate hot deployment plug-in based on the data transfer protocol by each client application manager.
