Defined Resource types and Relationship

[Erez Zarum]

Is it the same behavior as classes?

Example:

define app::server {

  ::app::server::config { '/etc/app.conf': }

  ::app::server::service { 'app': }

  App::Server::Config['/etc/app.conf'] -> App::Server::Service['app']

}

define app::server::config {

  file { $name:

    ensure => present

  }

}

define app::server::service {

  service { $name:

    ensure => 'running'

  }

}

Will this work as expected, what happens if i have dependency resources inside the defined types? will it contain it as well?

yes with the same caveats as classes and class containment

If i understand correctly, I do not have to contain (declare contain) on the defined resource (like in app::server)?

As in my example it will work as expected?

yes, your example is fine, i mean containment if you were to include anything
in the define

Thanks!
