Both a container of an autonomous topology and a container member of a more complex topology can be attached to another existing topology.

{gliffy:name=Moving a container standalone|version=2}

The attachment is realized through the JMX API of the container to move using the method '{{attachContainerTo}}' of the MBean '{{Topology}}' with the following parameters:
* a container member of the target sub-domain,
* the topology pass-phrase of this remote container.
During the attachment process, the container attached is reconfigured to use the registry of the target sub-domain. After the attachment, the endpoints of the container moved are available in the target topology, and no more available in the initial topology.
