Interesting. Then how does this example from the spec function?:
mysql_database:
type: Database
<http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.0/csprd01/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML-v1.0-csprd01.html#DEFN_TYPE_NODES_DATABASE>
properties:
name: { get_input: db_name }
user: { get_input: db_user }
password: { get_input: db_pwd }
port: { get_input: db_port }
capabilities:
database_endpoint:
properties:
port: { get_input: db_port }
requirements:
- host: mysql_dbms
interfaces:
Standard:
configure: mysql_database_configure.sh
<http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.0/csprd01/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML-v1.0-csprd01.html#UC_2_MYSQL_DATABASE_CONFIGURE_SH>
