| <p>(aka artefacts)</p> |
| <p>Virgo supports the deployment of various types of artifact. Standard artifact types are: </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <b>bundle</b> - an OSGi bundle; |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>configuration</b> - a properties file with name of the form <tt><pid>.properties</tt> which when deployed produces a Configuration Admin dictionary with PID <tt><pid></tt>; |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>plan</b> - an XML file which refers to arbitrary other artifacts in the Virgo repository -- plans may be scoped or unscoped, as described below, and atomic or non-atomic in terms of whether the lifecycle of the plan is tied to the lifecycle of the plan's artifacts; and |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>PAR</b> - a |
| <i>'P</i>'lan |
| <i>'AR</i>'chive which |
| <i>contains</i> a collection of artifacts and is equivalent to a scoped, atomic |
| <i>plan</i> referencing those artifacts (except the artifacts need not be present in the Virgo repository). |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>In addition, it is possible to add user-defined artifact types.</p><hr/> |
