Claim:
1. A system for supporting the use of partition templates in an application server environment, comprising: one or more computers, including an application server environment that enables deployment and execution of software applications, wherein the application server environment includes a domain configuration that is used at runtime to define a domain for execution of the software applications, one or more partitions, and one or more resource groups, wherein each partition, of the one or more partitions, is associated with a partition identifier and a partition configuration, and provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain, and includes one or more resource groups, and wherein each resource group, of the one or more resource groups, is a collection of deployable applications or resources that are defined at domain or partition level; and at least one partition template, wherein each partition template, of the at least one partition template, is associated with a partition configurator, and is used to configure partitions deployed to the domain using that partition template, including that, when a request is received to create a new partition, a selected partition template, of the at least one partition template, is determined, and the partition configurator associated with the selected partition template is used to configure and deploy the new partition to the domain of the application server environment, at a corresponding virtual target associated with a target system, including providing a partition configuration for the new partition.
