Grouping of different mappers and rewriters.

[darranl]

We have a number of different mapper definitions: -
name rewriters
role mappers
realm mappers
attribute to role mappers

All of these are relatively small but the point is these can be chained and associated with domains to achieve some quite powerful behaviour - the down side however is that a complex application server configuration may use many of these.

We should possibly consider if there is anyway we can model an arbitrary grouping of these to allow admin tools to select a subset to operate on.

Alternatively admin tools could encourage a naming convention - the risk here however is that is not portable across other admin tools unless they all understand the convention.

Had a discussion on today's status code - general opinion is that this would be solving something that is an general management model issue rather than an issue in the subsystem.
