Declarative configuration decouples the configuration of components and their actual activation state from their declared desired state. This allows the platform to be configured with an intended configuration, with Rhino asynchronously making the required component state transitions to achieve the new configuration. This applies to services, resource adaptor entities, and the activation state of the SLEE.
The expected users of Rhino declarative configuration are tools that manage a cluster (or clusters) of Rhino nodes providing a service. These tools create and process documents based on the schemas for:
