[jboss-as7-dev] Management Configuration

[Darran Lofthouse]

How fixed are we on having the existing <management> element actually 
called management?

At the moment the only use for that element is to list the management 
APIs that should be enabled on specific hosts or in the case of 
standalone on the single instance.  Converting to something like 
<management-apis> would be more meaningful for it's actual intent.

For the general top level element for domain management a few names 
start to come to mind: -
   <management>
   <domain-management>
   <administration-management> / <admin-management>

Or as the domain and server elements are their own complex types in the 
xsd could we have <domain-management> in a domain.xml and 
<host-management> in a standalone.xml?

Darran Lofthouse.
