Deployment specifications

A deployment specification is essentially a configuration file, such as an XML document or a text file, that defines how an artifact is deployed on a node.

A deployment specification details the properties that define the execution parameters of a component or an artifact that is deployed inside a node. The parameters can include concurrency, execution, and transaction-specific options that are expressed as attributes.

Compartments display information about the attributes and operations of the deployment specification.

As the following figure illustrates, a deployment specification is displayed as a rectangle that contains the name of the deployment specification. The specification also contains a stereotype of «deploymentspecification» or a deployment specification icon.

A rectangle with three compartments is displayed. The top compartment contains the name DeploymentSpecification1, the words deployment specification in double angle brackets, and the deployment specification icon. The middle compartment contains the name Attribute1 and the private visibility icon. The bottom compartment contains the name Operation1 ( ) and the public visibility icon.
