The first step in deciding if the 6.0 GA is possible is what the minimal schema that makes the effort worthwhile.
Partly in response to this and partly because it seemed useful in general, I did a rough analysis[1] of which of the AS's existing configuration files include content that needs to be represented in a domain model. For each file (or dir in the case of exploded deployments), I assigned it to a category:
- YES -- includes relevant end-user configuration
- BORDERLINE -- some end-user configuration but not clear if they need to be managed
- QUESTIONABLE -- more doubtful than BORDERLINE
- PROBABLY NOT -- NO, but worth another look
- NO -- doesn't involve end-user configuration, e.g. purely IOC stuff
Basically a vague sliding scale as to whether we need to concern ourself with a particular file.
