When dealing with XML component configuration file used by container (any of
them), it can become really unreadable for an average joe. Also a lots of
configuration parameters and xml declaration are not dealing with application
configuration itself (but more with component interaction).
A user running an application can be lost when he comes to editing such file,
this, just for changing a simple value.
So here comes my suggestion.
Could it be possible to refere some configuration values outside the current
conf xml file, using xsl-xpath-like query.
For exemple, having a well known phoenix XML conf:
<thread-manager> ... <min-threads>5</min-threads> ... </thread-manager>
-----
could become
<thread-manager>
...
<min-threads><conf:value
select="document('simpleconf.xml')/root/min-thread/text()"/></min- threads>
...
</thread-manager>
Perhaps look at http://avalon.apache.org/excalibur/configuration/configuration- merger.html
And the FilesystemPersistentConfigurationRepository component that you can use in Phoenix.
