[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAS-8133) Clear, understandable relationship between the domain management API and the contents of the domain configuration files

One of the drawbacks of the WebSphere API is that it is not always clear what gets modified on the file system when running certain commands. It is common practice to save a WebSphere config, then make the edits in the console and save the difference for reference. Then develop your wsadmin jython scripts so that the changes made by the script match those made manually in the console. WebSphere 7 made improvements in this space so that the admin console can show you the jython that makes the same change you made in the console. I would like to be able to look at a JBoss config file and write the API commands knowing exactly what it will change on the file system. Having the command line API match that used by the domain controller would make things more predictable when using both in one's environment.
