Abstract

A system to execute an application comprises a cluster of a plurality of application server nodes. A particular one or more of the application server nodes has residing thereon at least one container that contains business logic for the application. The particular one or more of the application server nodes is configured to maintain self-timing information for use to schedule execution of the business logic contained by the at least one container residing on the particular one or more application server nodes. Also, at least one of the other application server nodes is configured to maintain backup timing information for the particular one or more of the application server nodes, from which the self-timing information maintained by the particular one or more of the application server nodes can be derived.
