Server-Template Descriptor Element
A server-template element defines a template for a server element, simplifying the task of deploying multiple instances of the same server definition. The template should contain a parameterized server element that is instantiated using a server-instance element.
This element may only appear as a child of an application element.
The following attributes are supported:
Attribute |
Description |
Required |
|---|---|---|

Specifies the identifier for the server template. This identifier must be unique among all server templates in the application. |
Yes |
A template may declare parameters that are used to instantiate the server element. You can define a default value for each parameter. Parameters without a default value are considered mandatory and values for them must be supplied by the server-instance element.
Here is an example to demonstrate the use of this element:
<icegrid>
<application name="SampleApp">
<server-template id="ServerTemplate">
<parameter name="id"/>
<server id="${id}" activation="manual" .../>
</server-template>
<node name="Node1">
<server-instance template="ServerTemplate" id="TheServer"/>
</node>
</application>
</icegrid>
