Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for instantiating a composite application for different target platforms. In an exemplary manner, a template that describes a composite application having a plurality of application components is created. The template includes a composite application component assembly descriptor and a plurality of platform-specific handlers. The composite application component assembly descriptor lists each application component of the composite application. The platform-specific handlers handle the deployment of application components for the different target platforms. The composite application component assembly descriptor is evaluated to identify platform-specific implementations of the composite application components. The composite application is instantiated using one of the plurality of platform-specific handlers. The platform-specific handlers are included in the template for a platform-specific deployment for one of the plurality of target platforms.
