And you would also need to somehow transform the :migrate result into high level Windup report entries (targeting the source of migration, the XML). If you are trying yo avoid the XML rules with XSLT, due to XSLT complexity, an alternative would be Non XML Windup rules using a generic XML API, integrating the code logic of :migrate ops, which is short and not very complex. IMHO much less effort than what you propose above. > The reason for that is, that AFAIR, fiddling with standalone.xml was officially deprecated way of configuring EAP, and the recommended, forward compatible way, was officially CLI commands. > Is that still the case? > Recommended != mandatory, we certainly need to cover the migration of XML server configs, it’s the basic EAP config process, and is supported by Red Hat. —E
