Policy driven auto-transitioning framework for governed objects in service registries

摘要

A method for automated policy-driven transitioning of governed objects in a service registry is provided. The method includes receiving a request in a service registry executing in memory of a host server computing system to persist a governed object of a service registry. The method also includes identifying a policy to be applied to the governed object in response to the receipt of the request. The method yet further includes applying the policy to the governed object and determining whether or not the application of the policy has been successful. Finally, the method includes triggering a transition of the governed object from a contemporaneous state to a new state in the service registry if the application of the policy has been successful. In this way, governed objects of the service registry can be transitioned from one state to the other driven by policies in an automated way.
