[jboss-as7-dev] DMR: treating key/value pairs right

We got a lot of places where key/value pairs are used as part of the configuration: - system properties - xa data source properties - resource adapter config properties - (put your subsystem here) The most reasonable way to represent these properties within the model is to make them sub resources which can be addressed on their own, i.e: [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /system-property=hostType:read-resource { "outcome" => "success", "result" => {"value" => "staging"} } why? because if they are represented like sub resources, the implicit add/remove operations automatically apply: [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /system-property=newProperty:add(value=someValue) {"outcome" => "success"} The same is true for querying their value as shown above. This is request to unify the usage key/value pair configuration options like described above. I'll go ahead and create JIRA's for the cases that I encounter and ask you kindly to change all occurrences to the sub resource model representation. Ike
