Yes. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3319

Good idea. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3320

This is not good. jndi-name used to be read-only and also the name of 
the datasource in the domain model address. Now the name and the 
jndi-name are not related. Which means the command syntax has to change. 
Instead of jndi-name as the identifying argument/attribute and it should 
be just --name.

I.e. for the command that you are trying to add, just don't specify the 
--property-id at all.

There is :reload operation for that.
