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

[Heiko Braun]

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 at 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 at 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.
