> is the 'server' node the element that contains server instances?
> Yes; that's where you access the actual running server.
> The operations to actually start/stop/restart the server and check their
> status are under "server-config" which I'm not happy about. Not
> intuitive. It's that way because of a kind of chicken-and-egg problem.
> Emanuel, WDYT about a more sophisticated ProxyController for the
> servers? Installed by the ServerAddHandler. It handles the lifecycle and
> status ops directly; proxies the rest. Where it gets complicated is
> things like read-resource, read-resource-description, read-attribute,
> all of which would require custom handling. It also make a server
> resource an odd duck, since it's resource description varies depending
> on whether the server is started.
> Yes, we could think of doing something like that - maybe we should just
> create a ManagedServer for all configured servers and make it the proxy.
> It should be aware of the lifecyle/state of the server anyway and also
> holds the associated managed connection.
> Yes, that sounds like the right way to implement it.
> Heiko/Ike/Emanuel/anyone -- any concerns about the "resource description 
> varies" issue?
> What I mean is, for all other resources, read-resource-description will 
> return fixed content. For host=x,server=y it will vary depending on 
> whether the server is actually started. If not running, it will just 
> provide the operation to start the server and a "status" attribute, 
> which will tell you it's stopped. Once you start the server, then 
> read-resource-description will provide that, plus ops to stop and 
> restart the server, plus all the normal attributes and operations 
> exposed by the root resource of a server.
