Manage weblogic config file and applications

We have been using teamsite to manage our weblogic applications and I wonder if we can also use it to manage config.xml file. We have many weblogic instance running and we want to take advantage of teamsite workflow and opendeploy to build a better deployment process.

Has anybody have similar experience with this approach.

I asked around in IWOV, and here's some data I got from various people:

The config.xml file is used to set the properties for a WLS server. The current TeamTurbo for BEA also uses this file for setting up configurations.

TS can treat this file same as any XML file, and it could be managed inside of TeamSite. No one in the engineering organization has direct experience in doing this however.

We manage the config.xml file and many other files found in the
instance directory under ~config. The start and stop scripts,
and the fileRealm.properties. We have had great success getting
config changes into production without the involvment of the
production team Smiley Wink

We keep what we call an it_technical branch,
where we store files like receiver config, wls config, etc.
We deploy it to the production server, then (in the case of
config.xml) wait for midnight and the WLS server bounce to rotate
logs and it's always worked perfectly.

As always, test, test, test on your dev systems before deploying.
