        <jcrossley3> hey guys, if i set enable-welcome-root="false" in
                     standalone.xml, and then start jboss, and stop it, i look
                     in the file and the attribute is gone. where do i set it
                     so the change persists across restarts?
        <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: which version of AS7?
[00:47] <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: 7.1.0.Beta1
        <jcrossley3> it's actually an early EAP6 release
        <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: and is it just the fact the attribute is
                   missing from the xml or does it also prevent your custom
                   app from being deployed at root context?
        <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: the latter
[00:49] <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: ok, looks like a bug then. if this is
                   reproducible in upstream, could you please create a JIRA?
                   or else i can take a look at this in about an hour and
                   check it myself
        <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: the strange thing is that once i set it, it
                     seems to be set correctly for subsequent runs, but i
                     wouldn't know it by looking in that file.
[00:50] <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: what do you mean by subsequent runs? the
                   subsequent runs after the restart?
        <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: yes, multiple restarts of jboss
        <jcrossley3> in other words, if i set it to true, my integration tests
                     will fail each time i run them. i set it to false, and
                     they pass, but i lose the attribute from the file (but
                     the behavior remains, weird right?)
[00:52] <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: the attribute disappears no matter what i set
                     to the first time the server shuts down after setting it.
        <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: my guess is that it has to do something with
                   the not writing out the value of an attribute if it's the
                   default value
        <Jaikiran> but that's just a guess
