Managing Resource Templates

A resource template specifies configuration details for resources.

One resource template can be used to configure many resource instances. Resource instances allow sharing of resources such as connection pools. They also eliminate the need to provide such details in services, component implementations, and references. Instead, you specify a property of the type of required resource in the service, component, or reference. While configuring an application for deployment, the property of a resource instance in the node is mapped to the application.
