Remote Api to update Plugin xml

[James Richard]

Hey Everyone,

  I was wondering if there was a way to expose the global xml file of a plugin so that a User could update the xml using Rest Api's?  

Referencing https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API, I have found out how to update Job config.xml files but I want to also be able to update the global xml file for my plugin (as a Jenkins administrator) using a remote api.  Is there a way to do this? Any suggestions?

This is how it's implemented in core

https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/master/core/src/main/java/hudson/model/AbstractItem.java#L602

You should be able to implement something similar for your own plugin.

Storing anything in Plugin is deprecated. If you are storing content
in a Descriptor, there is no standardized doConfigDotXml equivalent
that I know of; it is up to each plugin that wishes to expose such an
API to do so in its own way.

Thank you Robert, I implemented something similiar and now I am able to expose the Descriptor's configuration.

Sorry for the confusion Jesse,  I was storing the information in the Descriptor not the plugin itself. I implemented my doConfigDotXml to expose the information to Rest services.

Thank you for the help guys!
