<!-- *value : stands for default value. -->

<!-- Attributes : version is set by the Parser engine. -->
<!-- If the Attribute value starts by { and end by }, its content will be CoolTyped. -->
<!-- -->
<!-- -->
<!-- Attributes and texts values between {} are evaluated using the wk formalism. -->
<!-- Here is a snapshot of the wk formalism: -->
<!-- ... -->
<!-- The wk formalism can be writen using too syntaxes: -->
<!-- Either the python syntax: -->
<!--    version = "{ -->
<!--        '*value': 7.0, -->
<!--        '*ge': 6.1, -->
<!--        '*le': 7.9, -->
<!--        '*required': True -->
<!--    }" -->
<!--    equivalente to (skipping no line): -->
<!--    version = "{'*value': 7.0, '*ge': 6.1, '*le':7.9, '*required': 'True'}" -->
<!-- Or the CoolTyping syntax: -->
<!--    version = '{\ -->
<!--        *value:7.0,\ -->
<!--        *ge:6.1,\ -->
<!--        *le:7.9,\ -->
<!--        *required:True\ -->
<!--    }' -->
<!--    This is the same shape but without ' nor ". -->
<!--    Easiest to write as long as we dont bother anymore about ' nor ". -->
<!--    The CoolTyping engine will deduct for us the python inner types -->
<!--    They deducted from what they obviously seems like. -->
<!--    Ex: *value becomes a python string. -->
<!--        7.0 becomes a python float. -->
<!--        True becomes a python bool. -->
<!--    Be aware that this syntax supports no space between special character like : {}, (), : and ,. -->
<!-- If the expression contain at least one ', it's assume to be using the python syntax. -->


<!-- temp_dir: If temp_dir is set all WAS temporary files go there (dervlet scratch dir, this jvm workspace dir, java.io.temp, ...).            -->
<!--    Some time you may not want to flood your regular Application server logs (stdout) with HA (DCS protocol) messages or free your network. -->
