Resource group: Type

Use this page to create resource groups. Select the appropriate radio button to specify the resource group type: implicit or explicit. Explicit resource groups are usually used for grouping controller command resources for the purpose of command- level policies. They are also used for grouping data bean resources for the purpose of data bean policies. Implicit resource groups are usually used in resource- level policies, when the class name of the resource, alone, is not sufficient. For example, if a policy is to pertain only to instances of a certain class that also has a specific attribute value, an implicit resource group should be used.
