Abstract
(EN)

A middleware that manages high availability of a software application is automatically configured when the software application is added to a system. The method of automatic configuration includes receiving a user input that specifies availability requirements and information of the software application, where the availability requirements include at least a checkpoint service that enables the software application to save and retrieve its state. The method also includes identifying a checkpoint agent for providing the checkpoint service to the software application. The checkpoint agent includes a first interface to the software application and a second interface, different from the first interface, to the middleware. A middleware configuration is generated that satisfies the availability requirements, based on the information of the software application such that the middleware offers the checkpoint service to the software application through the checkpoint agent and directly manages lifecycles of the software application.
