[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-205) AttributeDefinition validateOperation should convert all expression strings to ModelType.EXPRESSION

Brian Stansberry closed WFLY-205.
---------------------------------
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 9.0.0.Beta1)
       Resolution: Won't Fix


I don't want to do this. I don't think the benefit of a better error report is worth the cost of disallowing all uses of a string that looks like an expression as the value in any attribute anyone may ever define.

> AttributeDefinition.validateOperation currently only converts a string to an expression if the attribute supports expressions. It should convert any time it sees the syntax. This way if a STRING attribute that doesn't support expressions finds one, it will reject it instead of accepting it as a raw string.
> Scheduling for 7.3 out of concern this may break things in 7.2 without time to notice/adapt.
