Descriptor Types
These are the descriptor types defined in ADL:
| component | describes a simple component, which is running on a single host. Typically a component is a single "network appliance" that performs one specific service, e.g., an HTTP server, a database server, etc. Component descriptors are either written manually by a developer or produced by a GUI tool. |
| assembly | describes a composite component, consisting of several interconnected components (either simple components or other assemblies). An assembly descriptor is also used to describe the structure of an entire application. Assembly descriptors are either written manually by a developer or produced by a GUI tool. |
| package | package descriptors are used as "table of contents" for an application, a catalog (catalogs are sets of re-useable components that can be shared among applications), or for data caches used internally by the AppLogic software. The package descriptors contain configuration information and a list of component and assembly descriptors. They can also include binding information linking the abstract descriptors to installed boot volume images for the components. |
