RE: [tosca] Substitution Inputs

[Chris Lauwers <lauwers@ubicity.com>]

This is exactly what property mappings are for. The required inputs for the substituting template are obtained from the property values of the substituted node.

 

Thanks,

Hello ad-hoc folk,

 

In our discussion today about substitution mappings I forgot to mention a gaping hole in the spec:

what if the substituted topology template has required inputs? There is no standard way in TOSCA to specify them.

 

In Turandot, since I am using policies anyway (the directives are wholly insufficient), I use a custom policy property for this feature.
