[jboss-as7-dev] Configuration and user friendlyness

Hi,

I understand that for many configuration changes, direct editing of values (i.e. write-attribute) is not supported for various reasons
- only changing one attribute may introduce inconsistencies
- applying the change would require a restart

So the result is that many items (better name?) just allow to :remove them and then to :add
them again.

This may be fine for items that only have one or two attributes,
but for a data source as an example with 30 attributes, it is a pain for the user that 
is not using the embedded console or RHQ to specify them all in a curl statement
or even in the :add(...) command in the CLI just to increase some Tx timeout or to provide
a different password.

There are of course other items in the management tree where this applies as well.
