Component Language
E.1 Component Description Language (CDL)
This appendix provides a technical summary of the Component Description
Language (CDL) used to describe a component to the project configuration tool.
CDL uses a component description file (CDF) to describe one or more components.
By convention, a CDF has the file extension .cdf. This appendix provides the
syntax for each of the five CDL objects types; for additional information, see
6.2.2 CDL Object Types, p.115.
Properties essentially define their objects, and, more broadly, the associated
component. In this appendix, if a property does not specify that it has a default
value, none exists.
The appendix also includes the default folder hierarchy for Tornado 2.x, as well as
the default initialization group ordering. The folder hierarchy determines where a
component appears in the project facility’s hierarchy of components. Sequencing
by initialization group determines the order in which a component is initialized
during system startup.
