We haven't taken anything away from them, so it's at least no harder. They will be able to either use exploded mode or run a script. > * Can also be done while server is not running (I'm confused to why the overlays has to be uploaded through a CLI, and can't just be copied to a directory and manually added to standalone.xml) That's a long, long story. Originally, I wanted to have a directory for overlays and make it work sort of like a deployment scanner. Unfortunately, I found that is impossible for overlays without some substantial changes to WildFly. Overlays can't use a deployment scanner of any kind.

Deployments and overlays are never manually added to standalone.xml. That's just the way WildFly works. You either upload with a tool like CLI or web console, or (if standalone) you let a deployment scanner find it. For domain mode, only uploading is allowed.
