Support Matrix

Java	Ant	Maven2

Java API

You can register your configuration against the DefaultConfigurationFactory class. It's optional and only required if you want to let users use the DefaultConfigurationFactory class to instantiate your configuration. For example you could write:

ConfigurationFactory factory = new DefaultConfigurationFactory();
factory.registerConfiguration("containerIdOfAssociatedContainer", ContainerType.INSTALLED, 
    ConfigurationType.STANDALONE, MyCustomConfiguration.class);

Ant Task

Use the class attribute of the configuration element. For example:

<cargo containerId="containerIdOfAssociatedContainer" [...]>
  <configuration class="package.to.MyCustomConfiguration" type="standalone">
[...]

Maven2 Plugin

Use the implementation element under the configuration element. For example:

[...]
<configuration>
  <container>
    <containerId>containerIdOfAssociatedContainer</containerId>
    [...]
  </container>
  <configuration>
    <implementation>package.to.MyCustomConfiguration</implementation>
    <type>standalone</type>
  </configuration>
[...]
