This relates to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2342, particularly Fernando Nasser's comment thereon. By default in a managed domain we store each server's writable directories (data, log, and tmp) underneath domain/server/<server-name>. The proposal is to provide an option(1) to instead group the output based on the type of output: domain/data/servers/<server-name> domain/tmp/servers/<server-name> domain/log/servers/<server-name> I'm fine with that as long as it's easy to configure. Users could configure this now using a bunch of <system-property> elements in each host.xml <server> element, but that's not a practical solution A think a single piece of configuration in host.xml is sufficient to control this (i.e. there is no need to independently configure it for each server. <host> .... <servers group-server-output-by-type="true"> <server ...> The DMR representation would be an attribute on the root resource for the host (e.g. on /host=xyz). If anyone has a better name for the attribute, I'd love to hear it. (1) An option because the current directory structure has been in place for over a year and 4 final releases now. -- Brian Stansberry Principal Software Engineer JBoss by Red Hat
