             Summary: git backend for loading/storing the configuration XML for wildfly
                 Key: WFLY-3509
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3509
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: James Strachan
            Assignee: Jason Greene


when working with wildfly in a cloud/paas environment (like openshift, fabric8, docker, heroku et al) it'd be great to have a git repository for the configuration folder so that writes work something like:

* git pull
* write the, say, standalone.xml file
* git commit -a -m "some comment"
* git push

(with a handler to deal with conflicts; such as last write wins).

Then an optional periodic 'git pull' and reload configuration if there is a change.

This would then mean that folks could use a number of wildfly containers using docker / openshift / fabric8 and then have a shared git repository (e.g. the git repo in openshift or fabric8) to configure a group of wildfly containers.

Folks could then benefit from git tooling when dealing with versioning and audit logs of changes to the XML; along with getting the benefit of branching, tagging.
