I've needed this functionality in the past for the LDAP server so you could configure it on deployment. It would be nice to have these configurator components and not have to use low level xml apis to make the necessary changes. I would like to see a mutable form of configuration but where do we put it. I don't agree with putting it in Framework now but there has to be a nice place for it. This is sort of like a deploy time or build time tool API. > And if this is designed and implemented properly, I think both Fortress and > Merlin could benefit from it with very little effort. This would be sweet. Every user with an application can then provide their own configuration panel component for a deploy time configuration tool. I thought about autogenerating UIs based on a RelaxNG schema before and attempted it. It's not easy. But you need some form of metadata to be able to autogenerate such a configuration view for a component.
