Well, my position is a little bit different. Sure, too much XML suX(ml),
but the problem is not that the configuration is huge, it's that we
currently don't have tools to manage that (tools = GUI).
But with LdapStudio, I think we might have an acceptable solution :
- users who like to click will use it
- users who prefer vi and long text file will favor xml files :)
However, there are so much things in the server.xml file which could be
defaulted, that it might be a good idea to spend some time on this
subject. I don't really see the point of having all the intercptors
exhibited here. Maybe we can default those guys...

I think James Strachan and Dain Sundstrom have cooked up some stuff
that automatically generates schemas for each bean and then lets you
use that customized xml for your spring configuration. It's
somewhere in the xbean project inside geronimo. I'll try to find out
more if there's interest. I'm pretty sure activeMQ is using this
for its configuration. From what I've heard its a big improvement
over normal spring configuration.

Hi all!
There is some criticism about configuration complexity of ApacheDS,
especially from people who argue after a first glance at it. The
verbosity is mostly driven by the Spring Framework.
2) Reduce length of partition configuration
Currently, partition configuration are very long, mostly because of
the many many indices for internal attributes:
...
<bean
class="org.apache.directory.server.core.partition.impl.btree.MutableIn
dexConfiguration">
<property
name="attributeId"><value>1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.1</value></
property>
<property name="cacheSize"><value>100</value></property>
</bean>
(many others follow, in each partition the same
...
If it is highly recommend to use these indices, how about having a
special IndexConfiguration as a default, which only has to be
extended in order to adjust it to your needs?
yeah, sure, good point.
Stefan, can you do a list of all the elements that could be defaulted ?
