Assigned to Stefan so we can capture requirements, assess time required and consider which future release is realistic.

+1 on this one.

I´m starting to write my first add-on and needed to write functions like this one:

private void addContextParam(Document webXml, String paramName, String paramValue) {

Element root = webXml.getDocumentElement();

if (null != XmlUtils.findFirstElement("/web-app/context-param[param-name='" + paramName + "']", root)) { //context-param already exists, nothing to do return; }

Element lastContextParam = XmlUtils.findRequiredElement("/web-app/context-param[last()]", root);

Element contextParamElement = webXml.createElement("context-param");
Element paramNameElement = webXml.createElement("param-name");
paramNameElement.setTextContent(paramName);
contextParamElement.appendChild(paramNameElement);
Element paramValueElement = webXml.createElement("param-value");
paramValueElement.setTextContent(paramValue);
contextParamElement.appendChild(paramValueElement);

root.insertBefore(contextParamElement, lastContextParam.getNextSibling());
}
