Server-Instance Descriptor Element

A server-instance element deploys an instance of a server-template element on a node. It may supply additional information such as configuration properties.

This element may only appear as a child of a node element.

The following attributes are supported:

All other attributes of the element must correspond to parameters declared by the template. The server-instance element must provide a value for each parameter that does not have a default value supplied by the template.

Here is an example to demonstrate the use of this element:

XML
<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">
                <properties>
                    <property name="Debug" value="1"/>
                </properties>
            </server-instance>
        </node>
    </application>
</icegrid>
