Description

The web console today displays all configurations and for each configuration all properties.
For some scenarios it makes sense to distinguish between system and application configurations where (depending on a role) the user might only be able to change application configuration.
In addition, providing a mechanism to hook in validation of configurations before they are applied is useful in other scenarios.

An SPI approach allows to hook-in custom configuration management
