Advanced Configuration

Advanced configuration includes information about providing descriptions and the default values for configuration and OSGi Metatype Service Extensions.

The configuration properties for each service can be described in metadata that complies with the OSGi Metatype Service specification. The resulting XML file is packaged into the bundle in the OSGI-INF/metatype directory, in accordance with the specification. For more information, see Providing Descriptions and default values for configuration.

The Liberty runtime and developer tools recognize some extensions to the OSGi Metatype specification for more complex configurations and a better presentation in a user interface. For more information, see OSGi Metatype Service Extensions.
