This property value is used for the deployment of WSO2 Carbon Applications.

What is a Carbon Application

A Carbon Application, abbreviated as a cApp, is a collection of artifacts deployable on a Carbon instance. These artifacts are usually java-based or xml configurations, designed differently for each product in the Carbon platform. In a single Carbon-based solution, there can be numerous artifacts used, such as Axis2 services, data services, synapse configurations, endpoints, proxy services, mediators, registry resources, BEPL workflows etc. Usually, these artifacts are created in a development environment and then moved one by one into staging/production environments. When moving a Carbon solution from one setup to the other, the user has to manually configure these artifacts to build up the entire solution. This is a time-consuming process. Alternatively, bundling configuration files and artifacts in a cApp makes it easy for users to port their Web service based solution from one environment to another.

Server Roles Manager

Server roles manager is a component to manage the server roles property for WSO2 Carbon based products. Due to the functionality of the server roles manager, users do not have to manually modify the carbon.xml to include the server-roles related to the product feature they have added to a Carbon product instance. As WSO2 Stratos, which is the WSO2 Carbon based Cloud Middleware Platform, is introduced, the above action is not possible for a tenant since the tenant user is remote to the server instance.
