org.jboss.security.microcontainer.beans.Util uses locale sensitive toUpperCase, causing AS boot failure in Turkish locale
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SECURITY-449
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/SECURITY-449
             Project: JBoss Security and Identity Management
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: JBossSX
         Environment: JBoss AS 5.1.0, JBoss AS 6.0.0.M1

A couple of users have run into issues with AS boot failure when using turkish locale. The boot fails with:

11:56:51,955 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=jboss-web-policy state=Create
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid control flag: REQU?RED

The complete details and the fix are mentioned in the comments of https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6651. I guess the Util class can just delegate the call to ControlFlag.valueOf(string), since the valueOf method does *not* have any locale specific implementation. Alternately, the Util class can be removed altogether, but it might be too much work if that class is being used in too many places.
