Content Property
The content property value is a URL to a file to download content. Software agent downloads the content
from the URL to the virtual machine and passes the location of the local file in the virtual machine to the
script.
Content properties must be defined as a valid URL with the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. For example, the
JBOSS Application Server Software component in the Dukes Bank sample application specifies a content
property cheetah_tgz_url. The artifacts are hosted in the Software appliance and the URL points to that
location in the appliance. The Software agent downloads the artifacts from the specified location into the
deployed virtual machine.
