I've hit the point where I want to add an entry (an Infinispan cache) to the standalone.xml (or domain.xml), and I want to do it without having to write a parser. If the node is available via the mgmt interface this is easy - I can use the REST interface etc. However, my node isn't, and the recommended way to configure it is to edit .openshift/configuration/standalone.xml.

I believe the issue is no management interfaces are enabled in Express. Your only interface is standalone.xml.
