[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (GTNPORTAL-870) Portal entity creation and configuration in a war file.

[ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-870?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Antoine Herzog commented on GTNPORTAL-870: ------------------------------------------ Nic, yes, the idea of an export of the config that is in the DB "as it is" could be usefull to get the xml fragments for each things. the idea would be to separate only on the Portal Container level. but separation for each Portal Container does not means separation for each artifact (extensions) that provided the final DB configuration. so it is not really a round trip configuration tool, but yes, it could be a usefull export tool... after prototyping a portal (with users/designer participation), this could help a lot to build the xml descriptor files to make the portal. also, this could be an help to learn how to make the descriptor : make a change in the portal with the UI admin, export the config, then see the diff in the files. well... this have been discussed too for JBoss Portal. don't know why it has not been made. may be not enough interest by the developpers. surely nobody proposed the feature as a contribution. as far as I am concerned, I managed with descriptors written by hand, and some rare times to go and look in the UI admin. this for several portals, on several projects... this way was ok. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
