1. A method of managing a computer resource using a configuration wrapper, the method comprising:
- receiving a computer-readable configuration file that configures a resource based on at least one configurable parameter, the computer-readable configuration file comprising configuration data for the resource at a computer system, the configuration data including one or more configurable parameters related to the resource;
generating, with the computer system, computer-readable metadata related to the configuration data and storing in a computer-readable metadata file;
generating, with the computer system, a configuration wrapper by automatically processing the computer-readable metadata to manage the computer-readable configuration file,wherein automatically processing the metadata comprises;
providing, with the computer system, a reference to the metadata file,processing, with the computer system, the metadata file using an automator application, andgenerating, with the computer system, one or more files that are used to implement the configuration wrapper; and
storing the configuration wrapper in a computer-readable medium.

14. A system for generating a configuration wrapper for use in managing a resource, the resource having a configuration file, the system comprising:
-
memory; an input module adapted to receive a reference to a metadata file related to the configuration file; a mapping module adapted to store the reference in the memory; a metadata module adapted to generate one or more metadata objects in the memory based on data within the metadata file; a builder module adapted to generate one or more configuration wrapper objects in the memory based on the metadata objects; and a writer module adapted to write one or more implementation files based on the one or more configuration wrapper objects generated by the builder module, wherein the one or more implementation files are used to implement a configuration wrapper for the resource; and at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory, the input module, the mapping module, the metadata module, the builder module, and the writer module. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor readable instructions configured cause one or more processors to process metadata associated with configuration data for a resource within a computer system to generate a configuration wrapper for use in managing the resource, the processor readable instructions cause the one or more processors to:
-
receive a computer-readable configuration file that configures a resource based on at least one configurable parameter, the computer-readable configuration file comprising configuration data for the resource at a computer system, the configuration data including one or more configurable parameters related to the resource; generate, with the computer system, computer-readable metadata related to the configuration data and storing in a computer-readable metadata file; generate, with the computer system, a configuration wrapper by automatically processing the computer-readable metadata to manage the computer-readable configuration file, wherein automatically processing the metadata comprises; providing, with the computer system, a reference to the metadata file, processing, with the computer system, the metadata file using an automator application, and generating, with the computer system, one or more files that are used to implement the configuration wrapper; and store the configuration wrapper in a computer-readable medium.

21. A system for generating a configuration wrapper for use in managing a resource, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors and one or more memories are configured to; receive a computer-readable configuration file that configures a resource based on at least one configurable parameter, the computer-readable configuration file comprising configuration data for the resource at a computer system, the configuration data including one or more configurable parameters related to the resource; generate, with the computer system, computer-readable metadata related to the configuration data and storing in a computer-readable metadata file; generate, with the computer system, the configuration wrapper by automatically processing the computer-readable metadata to manage the computer-readable configuration file, wherein automatically processing the metadata comprises; providing, with the computer system, a reference to the metadata file, processing, with the computer system, the metadata file using an automator application, and generating, with the computer system, one or more files that are used to implement the configuration wrapper; and store the configuration wrapper in a computer-readable medium.
