Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Granular event management for service platforms. First bundle information relating to the content of a bundle is received at a first time, wherein the bundle relates to one or more resources in an application of a distributed computing environment. The bundle is monitored for a bundle event, wherein the bundle event is generated from a change in a lifecycle state of the bundle. Whether the bundle event has occurred is determined. Responsive to determining that the bundle event has occurred, second bundle information relating to the content of the bundle is received at a second time. Responsive to receiving the second bundle information, a granular event associated with the bundle event is identified, wherein the granular event relates to a difference between the first bundle information and the second bundle information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method comprising: receiving, by one or more computer processors, first bundle information relating to the content of a bundle at a first time, wherein the bundle relates to one or more resources in an application of a distributed computing environment; monitoring, by one or more computer processors, the bundle for a bundle event, wherein the bundle event is generated from a change in a lifecycle state of the bundle; determining, by one or more computer processors, that the bundle event has occurred; responsive to determining that the bundle event has occurred, receiving, by one or more computer processors, second bundle information relating to the content of the bundle at a second time; and responsive to receiving the second bundle information, identifying, by one or more computer processors, a granular event associated with the bundle event, wherein the granular event relates to a difference between the first bundle information and the second bundle information. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the granular event associated with the bundle event comprises: comparing, by one or more computer processors, the first bundle information relating to the content of the bundle at the first time and the second bundle information relating to the content of the bundle at the second time. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first bundle information includes a first set of metadata pertaining to the bundle and the second bundle information includes a second set of metadata pertaining to the bundle. 4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: processing, by one or more computer processors, the identified granular event to create a notification; and notifying, by one or more computer processors, a subscriber with the created notification. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the bundle is implemented in a Java environment. 6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein: the bundle is further implemented in an Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) for the Java environment; and the bundle includes at least one of the following: a dynamically loadable Java class file, and a configuration file declaring external dependencies. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the granular event associated with the bundle event comprises: managing, by one or more computer processors, changes in lifecycle states of the bundle, using the granular event associated with the bundle event and the bundle event; and managing, by one or more computer processors, applications of the distributed computing environment, using the granular event associated with the bundle event, the bundle event, and subscribers for the bundle event.
