[jboss-as7-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAS-9112) Create an "operation-header" section in operation requests

[Alexey Loubyansky]

I don't see a significant downside. Am I missing something?

If you worry that the op request format in the cli will become more 
complex then I don't think it's a big issue. We can add some other 
brackets for the headers or something. It'll probably turn out to be an 
advantage at the end.

Also, the current expectation is that with the maturity of the cli and 
the list of supported commands, the raw operation requests will become 
less popular.

I think, this structural change makes sense. I'd also consider a 
separate node for the properties since every other child node name is 
fixed (operation, address) and to avoid collisions between the property 
names and the fixed name.
