Working with Composite Cartridge Projects
An Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) composite cartridge is a type of cartridge that references other cartridges, called component cartridges, within a single logical scope. You use a composite cartridge to assemble an OSM solution from a collection of component cartridges. When you deploy the composite cartridge into the run-time environment, all of the component cartridges that are referenced in the composite cartridge are deployed as a solution in a single action.
Composite cartridge projects may contain any number of component cartridges, but not other composite cartridges. You cannot create entities directly in a composite cartridge project; rather, you create the entities in the component cartridges that are referenced in the composite cartridge. You use component cartridges and composite cartridges together to develop, deploy, and maintain OSM solutions.
When working with OSM composite cartridge projects, see the following topics:
