Abstract
A system and method for configuring servers in a cluster. The method may include storing one or more base configuration files associated with an application in a domain administration server, deploying the base configuration files onto one or more servers in a cluster of servers, making one or more instance-specific modifications to the base configuration files, and executing the application in accordance with the one or more modified base configuration files. In various embodiments, the base configuration files may be XML files, and the modifications may be xpath expressions. An alternate embodiment of the method may include storing one or more configuration files based on a common template and representing a platform-specific configuration of a server in a domain administration server, deploying the configuration files onto one or more servers in a cluster of servers, and configuring the servers in accordance with the configuration files.
