             Summary: Generate standalone and domain configurations from templates
                 Key: AS7-3806
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3806
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Final
            Reporter: Kabir Khan
            Assignee: Kabir Khan
             Fix For: 7.1.1.Final


As explained to Bruno:
Basically we have a lot of configuration files which are shipped:
These are:
standalone.xml
standalone-ha.xml
standalone-full.xml
standalone-full-ha.xml
domain.xml (which includes the same stuff as in the standalone*.xml ones)

In addition there are a number of other example configurations that are shipped in docs/examples.

The problem is that at the moment these all duplicate stuff (with some minor changes in certain cases, e.g some extra settings in ejb in the ha setup). At the moment, when a subsystem has its configuration changed, you need to go through all the files mentioned and make those changes. This is not so bad for the 'core' files since most of those get tested but it is a frequent problem that AS won't start for the docs/examples configs because people forget to keep those up to date.

What I am doing is extracting out all the subsystems into individual files with different sets of 'tweaks' for the different configs and assembling the result files for that.
