A while back there was some discussion of whether server.xml could be
made to be more semantically meaningful with less generic cruft, and
I suggested looking into xbean-spring. So, I spent a bit of time on
it and implemented this. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/
DIRSERVER-984
This was pretty easy to do, after fixing some problems in xbean.
Basically all I did was add some javadoc "annotations" to tell xbean
which classes to look at and what type collections contain, and
change to the xbean application context from the plain spring one.
xbean generates a schema for the configurable objects so you can
consult the schema to see what can be configured. As you can see,
you can mix regular spring configuration and the xbean style in the
same server.xml.
There's a lot more customization possible, I basically did the
minimum possible to get it to work. Pretty much anything can have a
different name. The main ugliness I see is the handling of
properties that are lists (or sets) of strings.
So, at the risk of posting too large a message, here's the shiny new
server.xml (I removed some commented out bits) :
