[jboss-as7-dev] Parameterized config of datasources in standalone.xml

[Brian Stansberry]

Configuration attributes that support expressions (aka system property 
substitution) should *not* be writing the resolved values back to the 
xml file.If you are seeing this with a build of the current AS 7 master 
branch, it's a bug, and I'd very much appreciate your filing an issue in 
JIRA.

Thanks!

Specifying system properties as ${DB_URL} for connection url, username, password works great using properties passed to jboss via -Dapp.properties, but after the first run, the values are permanently substituted in this file. If my external property file is changed, standalone.xml no longer picks up the change. To re-substitute, I have to get the initial version from the standalone_xml_history dir and overwrite the current version.
