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.

The management ops have not been exposed in openshift yet, so only the 
.openshift/configuration/standalone.xml can be used to update the server 
configuration.

The next change I'll make is to have a .openshift/management/cli script 
that can be run against the server to update the server configuration 
via the cli tools.
