James Perkins commented on WFCORE-255:
--------------------------------------

I can see where it's an RFE for sure then. When I filed this I wasn't quite sure of the intentions and I likely should have asked, but that was almost 6 years ago so I can't really remember all the details :)

I do recall the changes when I looked back in October were not simple. I was hoping it was as simple as just looking if those were set with {{boot-time=true}} and allowing them. That was a rather naive hope though in hindsight.

I'll go ahead and change this to a feature request. There may not be a new API needed and nothing user facing should be changed with the exception of documentation.

> The three properties {{jboss.server.base.dir}}, {{jboss.server.config.dir}} and {{jboss.server.log.dir}} are allowed to be overridden for servers. For a domain server, these values need to be allowed to be set as a {{boot-time=true}} system property. 
> These properties should also be allowed to be set as a system-property resource or overridden via {{JAVA_OPTS}} or the {{launch-command}}. 
> The {{add}}, {{write-attribute}} and {{remove}} operations should not modify the runtime, but should modify the model. It's debatable whether the server should be put in a {{restart-required}} state. Currently similar resources do _not_ set the server state to {{restart-required}}. For now we should stick with the same state.
