[wildfly-dev] Property Representation (name/value) pairs in Management model

[Heiko Braun]

While working on the console extension mechanism [1], I discovered that we don't use a common representation of properties within the management model. Below are two descriptions of properties (name/value pairs) taken from security domains and server-groups. Server-groups use a addressable resource representations for name value pairs, while security domains use some (bogus?) definition of type=object and value-type=String.

Is it possible to make resources rely on the same representation for properties? 

I don't even know how it's currently possible to define a login module option using the CLI today. Non addressable resources cannot be *:add()'ed, can't they? 

/profile=default/subsystem=security/security-domain=other/authentication=classic/login-module=RealmDirect


"module-options" => {
                "type" => OBJECT,
                "description" => "List of module options containing a name/value pair.",
                "expressions-allowed" => true,
                "nillable" => true,
                "value-type" => STRING,
                "access-type" => "read-write",

                "restart-required" => "no-services"
            }
