If I'd need Puppet to manage that, I'd likely want to be able to manage each LeftHandSide/ListElement pair via ensure. I.e., I don't want to enumerate the full lists in manifest or hiera, but just want to make sure distinct elements are there ore not. > /wrapper.conf/[4]//looks like it should be fairly easy to template. > The only thing I'm not sure on is how to handle the incrementing > nature of the param lines... > I'd like to keep the number of resource params as light as possible, > as there's no way I can expose all the possible config lines, so I'm > thinking maybe use an array for each 'set' of config lines, e.g. > 'wrapper.java.classpath' and 'wrapper.java.additional'...

I think you rather mean - how to *keep* existing values and only manage certain entries of the array. I fear that won't work. And I concur that arrays would be a good choice here. Perhaps an alternative API that takes an index/value hash instead would be useful to some, but seems like abysimal mileage to me. I haven't dabbled in augeasproviders yet (which is a shame), but imagine that it would be a good approach for both files (unless of course the latter can just be templated).
