---------------------------------------

Antoine,

maybe I do not get your point. But what I mean by roundtrip is that you can export from the DB per Portal Container for every site within the container the configuration as portal.xml, pages.xml, navigation.xml, sharedLayout.xml and other needed xml files. Then you can modify these xml files and define by setting a flag that the next time EPP starts you overwrite everything in the jcr-DB with the content from the xml files (or you just drop the jcr DB before). The idm-DB should stay untouched. Alternatively if that is not feasible, you should also be able to export all the user data into an xml file and import from there upon the next start again.
I think that should be pretty straight forward and you would not have to mess around with different bags...

> It would be nice if we could have some simple portal/portlet configuration files that would allow us to have similar functionality as the object.xml and portlet-instances.xml files that JBoss Portal used to have.
> This would be something more simplier than the portal extension and would allow for things like configuring a new page with portlets on it when the portlet war gets deployed.
