Re: [camp] [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (CAMP-30) Parameter Scheme

[Anish Karmarkar <Anish.Karmarkar@oracle.com>]

I'm not sure I completely understand this proposal.

From previous discussion, my understanding (which could be incorrect) 
was that templates will be allowed to list which attributes of an 
instance can be specified in the POST that creates that instance.

But I see the same technique being used to register the PDP, where the 
PDP URL is a parameter. The PDP URL, although a "parameter" for the POST 
is *not* an attribute of any resource. Not sure which attribute metadata 
URL you would point to for this.

In addition to a template parameter label, we also need a standard mechanism to specify values for the labels when using the API.

This would allow multiple Application Assemblies to be created from the same template to run concurrently, and offer a way to easily tell them apart from each other. The scheme should be flexible such that it works for Component Templates as well, so that it can be used for passing in configuration parameters that are employed by a downstream configuration management system.
