[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-3170) system properties are trim()'d and loose whitespace

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3170?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12956525#comment-12956525 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on WFLY-3170:
----------------------------------------

AIUI you are suggesting using different logic for ModelType.PROPERTY?

That won't work; very few attributes are of type PROPERTY. I'm quite sure a system property resource's value attribute is type STRING.

I'm opposed to changing the AttributeDefinition.parse method, at least for EAP 6.3.x. That will effect nearly every attribute in the system and could produce undesired changes in behavior.

> When a system property was defined as:
>   /system-property=foo:add(value="    spaces  ");
> it gets written with the correct spaces around it to the configuration file.
> When the configuration is read the value gets trimmed and the prefix/suffix of spaces is lost.
