A module artifact is a resource within a module, which can be launched on the server. Examples of module artifacts are servlets, HTML pages, or EJB beans.

Objects that provide an adapter to this type will be considered by the contextual Run on Server launch support.

Subclasses should provide a default (no-arg) constructor, implement the serialize/deserialize methods, and provide a useful name.

2.0
