Well we could always add a helper class. Something like
MutableConfiguration config = ConfigurationHelper.clone( readOnlyConfig );
ConfigurationHelper.set( "client-connections/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'ssl']/@auth",
"true" );
repo.storeConfiguration( myApp, "connections", config );
This would be simplified if we used something like the recent XPath APIs in
commons or on sourceforge. Some of them work on multiple doc types (ie
DOM/JDOM/DOM4J/JavaBeans). Look for jxpath in commons I think.
Re: dom4j license issues.
Ask the author (who is also a member of commons-dev IIRC) and I am sure they
would be willing to help fix whatever needs doing.
