Example of a context which contains multiple Resource Definitions

Note

In the example below, the first two Resouce Definitions are identical except for the name property.
The third Resource Definition differs not only in the name property but also differs in the type property and has an additional factory property.

In general, you can have as many Resource Definitions as you need just as long as each individual Resource Definition has a unique name property.
