<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ok, I understand the reasoning there.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It might be better to add that suggestion to the wiki because as I didn't expect to test midPoint that much when I first stumbled upon it, I didn't care about creating my own copies of the configuration files. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While my own laziness is at fault here, I guess I would have done otherwise if I read in the quick start guide that I would have a harder time if I didn't do this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So with my recent editing powers on the wiki, I went ahead and added a notice before the "Basic User Management" section of both First Steps pages.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is really not a priority at all but maybe, just maybe, it would be nice to see inbuilt configuration files versioning. You could keep the as-sent XML file when it passes validation and just show the parsed-and-renamespaced version as a view-only textarea
below. That way, editing and doing small changes on test systems would be much easier and also more live-like.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just tried to do a demo of what I have working in midPoint to one of my colleague and the XML configuration files with namespaces everywhere scared him off! :)</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
This is similar to the previous problem. We are struggling with this issues for years. And we haven't figured any practical solution except to get away from XML and XML libraries. The best way is to maintain the XML source code in a separate file, change it
there and reimport it to midpoint after every change. This is what we do. It is also better for version control of your configuration files.<br>
<br>
The situation may get a bit better when we add JSON support. But the approach with managing the files externally (and version-control them) may still be the best.<br>
<br>
If you have any ideas how to improve midPoint "development cycle" I will be very grateful if you can share them. I mean the "cycle" of creating a configuration, modifying and testing it, migrating to production environment etc. Currently midPoint is somehow
tuned to the methodology that we use. but I understand very well that other people are using different methodologies. Making midPoint easy-to-use is one of our priorities. Therefore if you see where midPoint can be improved to better support your style of
work please say so. We will gladly improve midPoint as much as we can.<br>
