Sample Cartridge XML Files

The difference between a Cartridge XML file for a Carbon and non-carbon XML file is the fact that non-carbon XML files have an additional section that defines port mapping.

Carbon Cartridge XML

 <cartridges>

 <cartridge type="appserver" host="appserver.stratos.wso2.com" provider="wso2" version="5.0.2" multiTenant="true">

                <property name="instanceType" value="m1.large"/>
            </iaasProvider>

           </portMapping>
        </cartridge>
    </cartridges>
