Patent ID: 8600725

Claim:
A system for providing a static model map of behaviors in a middleware system, for use in identifying system problems comprising: a computer including a microprocessor; one or more components operable to receive a plurality of requests; a definition of a plurality of possible locations within a system where processing of a particular request, selected from the plurality of requests, takes place; a definition of the possible locations into a plurality of categories; a data defining a static model describing the possible locations and categories of the possible locations; and a logic, executing on the computer, for determining problems and component dependencies, including determining a plurality of behavioral aspects based on one or more static behaviors exhibited by the components, wherein the static behaviors are behaviors that remain unchanged at each component for all calling requests, associating the behavioral aspects and a plurality of dynamic instances with the static model, comparing the behavioral aspects against a plurality of predefined efficiency requirements, and based on the comparison, identifying at least one of the behavioral aspects as a problem aspect.
