Puppet users - Apr 2012 - access variables from calling ressource

I need to create a XML file for our Nagios server.
This XML file needs to contain all Tomcats on this server, which are 
created with a parameterized puppet ressource.

What I need is something like this:
<root>
  <name>test1</name>
  <name>test2</name>
</root>

from these ressources

example::ressource { "test1": }
example::ressource { "test2": }

Here is an example puppet module https://github.com/xorpaul/puppet-example
How can I access the $name variable from the example::ressource?
Can I do something like $ressourcename = $example::ressource::name

At first I tried using puppet-concat and it worked until I needed to 
specify a concat::fragment only once and still be able to access the 
ressource parameters.


Is there a simple solution I''m just not seeing here?

Hi,

This should work:

$res = [''test1'',''test2'']
> example::ressource { $res: }
with the caveat that I can''t see your code or how you get your vars.

Have tried Hiera? Makes these things relatively simple.

My previous understanding on what hiera is trying to accomplish was simply 
wrong.
I moved all data to hiera and am now a happy camper :)
