[jboss-as7-dev] Configuration conundrum with Express

I can easily see us having a "Apply CLI batch…" action or similar which I (guess?) would have to use the local AS7 CLI command to execute them against a server.
 
Not sure I fully follow your "configured server notion" - do you mean that we would bundled a "openshift setup" containing of a standalone.xml + cli file that users "apply" to the server ?

Trying to think where that would fit in…

Maybe the way to handle this is to have multiple scripts, one for the commands common to each environment, another for the configurations that differ more fundamentally based on the services available in the environment.

not sure how to handle that without exposing a lot of complexity to the user…;(
