[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1295?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Brian Stansberry commented on WFCORE-1295: ------------------------------------------ The trick with this is all the deployment parsing substitution logic is in jboss-metadata, which we don't want to bring into core because it's a monster dependency. A smaller concern is the configuration of turning expression replacement off/on is in the ee subsystem. To control it for core, if we wanted it to work w/o requiring ee to turn it on we'd have to make it configurable elsewhere (redundant and confusing) or just have it on always (a bit confusing since it would be different for this jboss descriptor from others). Or perhaps have it always on but core exposes a hook such that ee can turn it off. None of these are particularly unsolvable problems; I'm just mentioning them here for the record and partly to explain why something that might on the surface seem like a real quick thing to do is a bit more than that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
