Defining the Plug-In

To make the solution available for others to use, you wrap the plans, components, and component type definitions into a plug-in. To define the plug–in, you create an XML file that uses the <plugin> element and its children. For information about the <plugin> element, see Chapter 5, Plug-in Description Schema, in N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 XML Schema Reference Guide.

Example 2–15 Sample Plug-In Descriptor File

The following sample descriptor file is for the Solaris Zones plug-in.
