An icebox element defines an IceBox server to be deployed on a node. It typically contains at least one service element, and may supply additional information such as command-line options, environment variables, configuration properties and a server distribution.
This element may only appear as a child of a node element or a server-template element.
This element supports the same attributes as the server element.
An optional nested description element provides free-form descriptive text.
Here is an example to demonstrate the use of this element:
XML
<icebox id="MyIceBox" activation="on-demand" activation-timeout="60" application-distrib="false" deactivation-timeout="60" exe="/opt/Ice/bin/icebox" pwd="/"> <option>--Ice.Trace.Network=1</option> <env>PATH=/opt/Ice/bin:$PATH</env> <property name="IceBox.UseSharedCommunicator.Service1" value="1"/> <service name="Service1" .../> <service-instance template="ServiceTemplate" name="Service2"/> </icebox>
