+** Save node
+
+*** Description
+
+  A <<save>> node is used to save information about a
+  particular resource to persistent storage.  For example, this might be used to
+  save information about a particular uni-port.
+
+*** Attributes
+
+*--------------*-------+
+| <<plugin>>   | Fully qualified Java class of resource adaptor to be used
+*--------------*-------+
+| <<resource>> | Type of resource to save
+*--------------*-------+
+| <<key>>      | SQL-like string specifying criteria for retrieval
+*--------------*-------+
+| <<force>>    | If "true", save resource even if this resource is already stored in persistent storage
+*--------------*-------+
+| <<pfx>>      | Prefix to be prepended to variable names, when attributes are set in SvcLogicContext
+*--------------*-------+
+
+*** Parameters
+
+  Values to save (columns) are specified as parameters, with each name
+  corresponding to a column name and each value corresponding to the
+  value to set.
+
+*** Outcomes
+
+*-----------*-------+
+| <<success>>  | Resource successfully saved
