ISOLATING APPLICATIONS WITH A SEGMENTED ARCHITECTURE

An operationally monolithic application is provided, where the application resides in a first program address space of an application server. The application calls to an application component residing in a second program address space of the application server, the application component being built upon a framework of the operationally monolithic application. The operationally monolithic application loads at least a first library upon which it depends to invoke a first method, and the application component loads at least a second library upon which it depends to invoke a second method. The first and second libraries can co-exist on the application server despite being different versions of the same libraries.
