[wildfly-dev] Subsystems changing their own configuration model

We would like to allow a subsystem to modify its configuration model by itself at runtime. The use case for this is that we would like to let a remote Hot Rod client create a cache on an Infinispan server and making that configuration persistent across restarts. I understand this is creating management ops which are orthogonal to the server's. I guess that in standalone mode this wouldn't be too much of an issue, with two caveats: - all nodes in a cluster should apply the changes to their own configuration, leveraging the model rollback mechanism to handle failures on other nodes - new nodes joining the cluster (and therefore with a possibly outdated configuration) would receive the configuration of caches already running in the cluster and applying them locally The real tricky bit is obviously domain mode. The server receiving the cache creation request would need to delegate it to the DC who would then apply it across the profile. However this clashes with the fact that, as far as I know, there is no way for a server to communicate with its DC. Is this type of functionality planned ? I have created a document which describes what we'd like to do at [1] Tristan [1] https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/wiki/Create-Cache-over-HotRod -- Tristan Tarrant Infinispan Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat
