Naming Conventions for the <createDependency> Step

Dependency names follow this format: xxx2yyy. The xxx indicates the name of the dependent component, and yyy indicates the name of the dependee component.

For example, a WebLogic managed server might have a dependency called server2domain on its admin server and a server2cluster dependency on its containing cluster. This convention facilitates self-documentation of the nature of the dependency relationship and makes it readable for both the dependee and dependent relationships of a particular component.
