Re: [jboss-as7-dev] JDBC driver version requirement

In order to configure a JDBC driver, I need to specify a driver version

where<driver-name> is the fully qualifed name of the JDBC driver class",
"type" => STRING,
"required" => true,
"access-type" => "read-only",
"storage" => "configuration"

IMO this is really awkward and for the average user close to impossible to figure the
driver version.
Can somebody explain this requirement?
Yeah, it's pretty dumb. I plan to perform, or direct, a cleanup effort
around our management model and XML representation with a few goals:
1) XML Uniformity - to ensure that all of our subsystems are using
similar syntax for similar items (right now it's a mishmash of
values-in-attributes and values-between-tags for example).
2) Descriptive Uniformity - we use different names for similar concepts
between subsystems, and this needs to be cleaned up
3) Consistent Value Definitions - there is no reason to have compound
values; both the DMR and XML representations support multi-attribute
data items.
