I'm writing a module to configure Oracle Weblogic (against my will).

I've created a type to handle the configuration of the config.xml file for 
the domain. In puppet, you'd use it like this:

  weblogic_domain{ $name:
    admin_server => $admin_server,
    domains_dir  => $domains_dir,
    require      => Exec["creating admin server for ${domain}"]
  }

so that's great... If i change my $admin_server, then my type changes 
admin_server in config.xml.

I'm having a bit of trouble, however, with the next part. A 'domain' in 
weblogic contains 'servers'... basically a hostname and port. I *could* do 
this:

  weblogic_domain{ $name:
    admin_server => $admin_server,
    domains_dir  => $domains_dir,
    servers          => $hash_of_servers_and_ports
    require      => Exec["creating admin server for ${domain}"]
  }

but what I'd really like to do is on each server, declare something like 
this:

  @weblogic_server{ $name:
    domain => myDomain
    port => 8000
  }

and then have my type gather up all the virtual resources and drop them 
into the server.xml automagically.

SO... how do I access the instances of one type from a different type? Can 
it be done? I've read the O'Reilly book on Types/Providers, skimmed a 
couple other books and scoured github for an example of this but I've come 
up with nothing.

please sir, a tuppence for a clue
