Issue #18 has been updated by Jonathan Clarke.
Overall, this looks good to me. One major query: * Should we separate _sources_ out from _tasks_? I mean: the configuration that links a connection (URL, username, password for example) and a set of parameters to a _source service_ (for example: select all _inetOrgPerson_ objects with a filter of _(name=Doe)_ from connexion _42_) could be a in a seperate block, called a _source_ or a _source service_. Then, we could have several _tasks_ using the same _service_... I don't really know at this point what is most adaptable and easy to understand. What do you think? I also have some queries over details: # I assume the connections can have names (like _My AD server_ rather than just _ldap_)? # In the connections, why are some parameters on the first level (url, password) and some under a _configuration_ item? # I don't really understand the _sources_ and _destinations_ items in the task definition: do you link a _connection_ from the first part of the file? If so, why not specify something like: _connection: My AD Server_? # _basedn_, _filters_, etc are parameters of a [src/dst]Service, so should probably be underneath that item. Also, a connection is probably a parameter to the service too. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18: Change the configuration format to something more adaptable http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/show/18 Author: Jonathan Clarke Status: Feedback Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Core Target version: Sometime in the future XML?
