7.2.4.4 Containment relationships

While cloning a resource, you can specify the relationship of the clone to its model and other models.

Freestanding or contained?

Specify a containment relationship for each model, which determines whether the model is freestanding or contained.

A model is freestanding if it is not contained by another resources's model. If a model is part of another resource's model, it is contained.

For example, a model of an enterprise bean can be contained by the model of an application server on which the bean is installed. Clones of the application server will contain clones of the enterprise bean.

Model recursively?

When you create a servlet engine model that contains a Web application, you can optionally specify to include the Web application, and any servlets it contains, in the model.

Containment relationships are preserved when you model and clone an instance that is contained by another instance. For example, if you create a model of a Web application that is contained by a particular servlet engine, the clones of the Web application model will also be associated with that servlet engine.
