How GlassFish Server Stores Configuration Data
Defining an Attribute of an Element
Representing an Attribute of an Element
Specifying the Data Type of an Attribute
Identifying an Attribute of an Element
Specifying the Name of an Attribute
Specifying the Default Value of an Attribute
Specifying Whether an Attribute Is Required or Optional
Example of Defining an Attribute of an Element

9. Packaging, Integrating, and Delivering an Add-On Component
An element represents an item of configuration data. For example, to represent the configuration data for a network listener, GlassFish Server defines the network-listener element.
Define an element for each item of configuration data that you are adding.
Define one interface for each element. Do not represent multiple elements in a single interface.
The name that you give to the interface determines name of the element as follows:
A change from lowercase to uppercase in the interface name is transformed to the hyphen (-) separator character.
The element name is all lowercase.
For example, to define an interface to represent the wombat-container-config element, give the name WombatContainerConfig to the interface.
To specify the parent, extend the interface that identifies the parent as shown in the following table.

Example 6-1 Declaration of an Interface That Defines an Element
This example shows the declaration of the WombatContainerConfig interface that represents the wombat-container-config element. The parent of this element is the config element.
... import org.jvnet.hk2.config.Configured; ... import org.glassfish.api.admin.config.Container; ... @Configured public interface WombatContainerConfig extends Container { ... }
You are not required to implement any interfaces that you annotate with the @Configured annotation. GlassFish Server implements these interfaces by using the Dom class. GlassFish Server creates a Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) proxy for each Dom object to implement the interface.
