METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DEPLOYING A PLATFORM DEPENDENT APPLICATION IN A GRID ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Under the present invention, it is determined whether sufficient resourcesexist for deploying a platform dependent application on its specific "native"platform in a grid environment. If not, a platform dependent portion of theapplication is identified, and the application is split into the platformdependent portion and a platform independent portion. Thereafter, the platformdependent portion is deployed on its corresponding native platform, while theplatform independent portion is deployed on another platform in the gridenvironment based on available resources. Interconnections between the twoportions can then be automatically generated. This can include, for example,creating remote method invocation facade interfaces, creating remote methodinvocation-enabled facade classes, and building a remote method invocationserver for the first platform.
