* DTO representing an app-server. *
* An AppServer
represents a logical application server. This logical application server
* might be a cluster/cloud consisting of many physical machines.
*
* An AppServer
contains the coordinates needed to contact the application server
* (or more precisely the key-manager-channel-REST-service
* running on this application server) in order to establish a communication channel. See
* Deployment scenarios.
*
* Get the app-server's ID. *
* If this instance of AppServer
is used to PUT an app-server into the key-server,
* then this property can be null
in order to have the
* key-server assign the ID. The app-server's ID is sent back to the client in a {@link PutAppServerResponse}.
