Hi Imesh, as a general information, jclouds already supports userData through TemplateOptions [1] so there is no need to extend TemplateOptions into SoftLayerTemplateOptions for that.
Unfortunately looking at the current implementation (1.7.1) of softlayer, even it you passed the userData they will be ignored because VirtualGuestToNodemetadata doesn't consider them at the moment. The good news is that we are in the middle of a big refactoring for softlayer so we'd really appreciate if you could open a jira ticket with your request so that we don't forget to add this feature in 1.8.0 Hope this helps, Andrea [1]: http://javadocs.jclouds.cloudbees.net/org/jclouds/compute/options/TemplateOptions.Builder.html Andrea Turli Il 08/mar/2014 17:17 "Imesh Gunaratne" <im...@apache.org> ha scritto: > Hi, > > I'm from Apache Stratos (incubating) team and trying to use jclouds > Softlayer implementation. > > Is it possible to set User Data in SoftLayerTemplateOptions? > > I could see this functionality in Softlayer API: > > userData.value > Arbitrary data to be made available to the server. > > - *Optional* > - *Type* - string > - *Description* - The userData property is an array with a single > attribute< > https://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Hardware_Attribute/ > > > structure > with the value property set to an arbitrary value. > - This value can be retrieved via the > getUserMetadata< > https://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Resource_Metadata/getUserMetadata/ > > > method > from a request originating from the server.
