             Summary: AttributeDefinition validateAndSet and validateOperation should perform basic type conversions before returning
                 Key: WFLY-4061
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-4061
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Domain Management
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: 9.0.0.Beta1


If an operation passes in something like "enabled"=>"true" instead of "enabled"=>true for an AD whose type is BOOLEAN, validateAndSet should convert to BOOLEAN before storing and validateOperation should convert to boolean before returning.

Doing it for validateOperation isn't so obvious, but that method already converts strings to expressions if expression are supported, and also runs any ParameterCorrector, so the method isn't a simple read of the model, and this new behavior is consistent. The method javadoc needs to be updated anyway to better reflect what it does.

I don't propose to do anything complex here; e.g. descending into complex attributes.

I'm pretty sure there's already a JIRA for this but I can't find it.
