Using GeoServer REST Configuration to add a datastore

Question

I have used the example from the Geoserver REST Docs to add a datastore from at PostGIS database. I have used the following xml doc to add the new datastore:

<dataStore>
  <name>my_datastore</name>
  <connectionParameters>
    <host>localhost</host>
    <port>5432</port>
    <database>postgis</database>
    <user>username</user>
    <passwd>secret</passwd>
    <schema>public</schema>
    <dbtype>postgis</dbtype>
  </connectionParameters>
</dataStore>

The datastore was created with the connection parameters as I expected. But the datastore.xml created looks different from the datastore that I have created with the GeoServer Web Admin. The connection parameters I am missing is:

Connection timeout
validate connections
max connections
Loose bbox
Expose primary keys
fetch size
Max open prepared statements
preparedStatements
Estimated extends
min connections

So my question is: What are the above mentioned connection parameters corresponding xml elements?

EDIT: I am using GeoServer 2.1-RC1.

You can specify them exactly like they are specified in the datastore.xml. The REST api allows for multiple syntaxes in connectionParameters. The following syntaxes are equivalent:

<port>5432</port>
<entry key="port">5432</entry>

You will find a description of what those additional parameters mean in the user guide.

I think you can include any element in the datastore.xml file using the same format. All the RESTConfig does is copy your POSTed file to the datastore folder.
