Currently the jppf configuration of the JCA connector is embedded within the resource adapter's deployment descriptor. There are several problems with that:

• the entire config is set as a single property. This doesn't work very well on some app servers which ignore the end of line characters. In such cases, the config properties are completely mangled and the resulting jppf config is unpredictable
• to modify the client configuration, the .rar must be redeployed, and in most cases this implies a restart of the application server. We need to implement a way for the app server admins to easily modify the configuration and reset the client to take the new configuration into account. One possibility would be to have some kind of configuration console as a web app (single page web app might do), with proper security (role and permissions).
