[jboss-as7-dev] Important Subsystem Management Use-Cases

[Brian Stansberry]

This is a good list.

There are also some cross-cutting concerns that we need to address in 
all subsystems:

1) Validation of parameters by the OperationStepHandler impls
2) Properly dealing with default values.
3) Properly dealing with expressions (i.e. <inet-address 
value="${jboss.bind.address.public:127.0.0.1}"/>

I'm in the process of updating Kabir's "Extending JBoss AS 7" guide[1] 
to include some fairly straightforward techniques for all of these things.
