Abstract

Methods for providing dynamic process recovery that supports recovery of event driven services. The present invention addresses situations where a service-hosting process fails as well as all of the services which were running in that process. To recover from this scenario, the present invention restarts the services from a last known good state. The present invention also provides for situations where a process is shut down in a controlled manner, but the services running within it are still able to drive. Here again, the services are restarted in a secondary process. The recovery modal described here, therefore, advantageously addresses a problem in the design of a distributed event-driven environment.
