<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>I agree that a given piece of metadata only existing one place in the model should be the pattern. The template idea makes that relatively painless.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>An exception I could see to that would be an element that represents a more general notion of a system property. Formalize the system property substition concept with an element that represents a variable that could be referenced elsewhere.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>As to the homogeneous group notion, my thoughts on this were to have a "profile" notion that would encapsulate most of the common configuration. Then clusters, groups or standalone servers would declare what profile they run.
