Web admin tool: import/export configuration

It would be nice if the web admin tool would have an option to export the current configuration, and another option to import the configuration. This would make remote upgrading easier, as well deploying a Geoserver config over multiple machines.

The config would need to include:

• settings like character set etc.
• catalog.xml
• featuretype definitions

E-mail for reference:

Currently no. You have to manually copy your data_dir. But that would be a nice feature, and I don't believe it would be all that hard to implement. If you put a 'wish' in the JIRA we can track it and not forget about this good idea.

best regards,

Chris
