System and method for providing configuration modularity in an application server, cloud platform, or other environment

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing configuration modularity in an application server, cloud platform, or other environment. For example, in a cloud computing environment, application server modules, e.g., WebLogic Server or GlassFish modules, can be embedded within the environment to provide various cloud platform functionalities. In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a configuration modularity logic for use in determining, for a particular application or service deployment, a configuration of application, module or service components, including determining if a configuration is provided by a global or domain configuration, determining if annotations are provided by the particular application or service deployment for use in configuring the application, module or service components, and/or determining if a default configuration is provided for use with the particular application or service deployment.
