Abstract
A multi-tenancy adapter is configured to provide an interface between a plurality of tenants and a service provider product that is shared by those tenants. The multi-tenancy adapter in one embodiment comprises a plurality of tenant-specific mashup functions or other service composition functions associated with respective ones of the plurality of tenants. In conjunction with receipt of a service request from a given one of the plurality of tenants, the multi-tenancy adapter generates a corresponding request directed to the product, applies the particular service composition function associated with the given tenant in order to filter response information received back from the product in a manner specific to that tenant, and provides the filtered response information to the given tenant.
