Here is an initial example of the domain.xml effort. The notion is that the domain.xml is a static metadata model of an API for configuring the server. This can be use for a rest client, command line client, junit client, etc.
The relatively easy part is deciding what features we want to support via the model. The issues to resolve are how to:
1. Map this metadata onto the admin API of the profileservice. In general the domain.xml is a subset of the full metadata the service supports. The ManagedComponent view of the deployment metadata is the full featured configuration.
2. Provide a plug in to handle the mapping of the domain.xml metadata onto the ManagedComponent associated with the domain.xml element namespace. Currently the ManagedComponent is a view that is generated after deployment.
3. Deal with the different mechanisms for producing the runtime components from metadata. Some layers are using BeanMetaDataFactorys, jboss-managed plugins, custom deployers to manipulate metadata. Pulling in the domain.xml element override at the correct phase in the deployment chain is an issue.
4. Dealing with rollbacks of the domain.xml if we allow direct editing of the a domain.xml file. If the domain.xml is essentially a subset of admin edits of the available ManagedComponents, a rollback needs to write out a revised domain.xml that corresponds to the previous subset view.
