Deployment API (jsr88) does not give the server access to server specific data files. This makes it very hard (if not impossible) to write a functional editor. To fix this plugin should provide the data loader for server cofig files.
I still believe it is a p2 bug, (this is in fact for the p2 bug 53783 to be complete) as the current set of apis cannot fulfill the App Server 8.1 plugin needs regarding accessing necessary information. Moving back to bug (p3 for now)
Pavel, I don't understand the background issues behind this task. I would appreciate if you or someone could provide some sort of summary here. Regarding scope of the task, there are a number of thinkings I just want put forth. There could be many levels of "privatization" of the configuration loader/editor: (1) Plugin completely provide and control the config editor. This is a good flexibility as long as we still provide support for a default config editor. At this level of configuration control, plugin would need API to access the DD part of JSR-88. (2) For plugin to only provide config loader and dataobject, while still using j2eeserver implementation of jsr-88 tool side and the common config editor, it would mean j2eeserver need to provide API for plugin to access to some if not all major ConfigurationStorage operations. (3) Plugin completely relying on JSR-88 and DeploymentPlanSplitter for showing server configuration. I think we should still support this level.
Setting the TM to promo-F.
this has been already fixed, see issue 62787
