Abstract
Described herein is a system and method for generic product wiring in a cloud environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a virtual assembly builder can be used to virtualize installed components in a reference environment, and then deploy those components into another destination environment. A user can capture the configuration and binaries of software components into software appliance artifacts, which can be grouped and their relationships defined as software assembly artifacts. In accordance with an embodiment, a generic product introspector plugin allows users to specify at introspection, during creation of a virtual assembly, one or more metadata properties to be exposed for editing and configuration by scripts, during a subsequent rehydration of the virtual assembly. The properties exposed for editing and configuration by scripts can be used during instantiation of an instance of the assembly to define one or more inputs and outputs for the instance.
