Abstract
The present invention facilitates the sharing of resources among multiple applications hosted on a server using shared resource providers. A shared resource provider is a logical grouping of shared services and resources to support the shared services, and is associated with one or more applications hosted on a computing device. The server fulfills requests for the shared services from the shared resource provider with which the requesting application is associated. Shared resource providers may be associated with many different applications, but each application may be associated with only one shared resource provider. The shared services may be configured for consumption by the applications at the server level, at the level of the shared resource provider, and the level of the application.
