Cloudtide instance
===================
This directory contains overlays (as directories or jars) that
are define instances of templates to be deployed.
An instance filename consists of a template name, the '=' character (or '--' string)
and then an instance identifier. For example:
mytemplate=redInstance
This defines a instance called redInstance using the template called mytemplate.
An overlay is structed as a WAR, but also may contain:
* WEB-INF/lib-overlay directory, which can contain jar files made available to
the overlay.xml configuration (unlike any overlayed WEB-INF/lib jars).
* A WEB-INF/overlay.xml file, which is an XmlConfiguration format file used to
inject the ContextHandler instance.
* A WEB-INF/web-overlay.xml fragment that is applied as an override descriptor
* Static content that overlays the static content of the webapp, node and template.
* WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib that overlays the code of the webapp, node and template.
