AttributeDefinition validateOperation should convert all expression strings to ModelType.EXPRESSION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-205 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-205 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Domain Management Reporter: Brian Stansberry Fix For: 8.0.0.CR1 AttributeDefinition.validateOperation currently only converts a string to an expression if the attribute supports expressions. It should convert any time it sees the syntax. This way if a STRING attribute that doesn't support expressions finds one, it will reject it instead of accepting it as a raw string. Scheduling for 7.3 out of concern this may break things in 7.2 without time to notice/adapt.
