Providing default information
If an application definition includes any of these elements, the value in the application definition
overrides any value for that element in the Defaults element. The sections following the next
section describe these elements in detail.
Providing default information
Some of the information you provide for individual applications may be common to all your
applications. For such information you can specify defaults that are used whenever an application
