Hmmm, I still find it difficult to understand your point.
If you are using JDBCConfig, the catalog .xml files become meaningless,
are ignored and changing them never has any effect. There is no
difference there whether you are using jdbcstore or not.
As far as I see it, changing a config resource with the REST API or on
the file system is identical.

Writing the above I actually raised one more question: what
happens if someone
goes and chances configuration files using the resource REST api?
It's ok to say "it's store implementation dependent", but at
least we should make
a statement on that (otherwise people will start assuming that
the behavior
of one store is actually valid for all stores).
I don't understand your point. The REST API will give to
administrators the same control over the resource store as they
would have through the file system with a regular data directory.
Yes and no, and imho this should be clarified.
With the data directory we have a clear position, if one modifies the
xml configuration files on disk, nothing
happens, GeoServer will not notice, unless a reload is forced or it's
otherwise specified (e.g., control-flow
configuraton file, or other flies that are under a watcher).
However if I reload I have a guarantee that the config file changes
will be picked up
But if you have JDBCConfig and JDBCResourceStore then things become
somewhat more complicated...
the xml config file is saved in the resource store I assume, but I
assume JDBCConfig will not notice at all,
since it has its own database, and thus a "reload" will do nothing...
or will it be notified and will change the config db contents?
If you don't want to get into those details I'm happy to just have a
statement stating that
changing a config file has an undefined behavior, and then have some
docs to warn the users of that.
Cheers
Andrea
