[jboss-as7-dev] Case-sensitivity of restricted model values

[Jason T. Greene]

BTW, in this specific case the intention was that the values be lower 
case (that is what is in the schema and in the config examples).

The problem comes from using a Java enum, which has a string value that 
is upper case. So the answer appears to be lower casing the enum when 
writing the value or presenting defaults.
