[wildfly-dev] strange JMX attribute values for domain servers

[Brian Stansberry]

Once a managed server is launched and registers with the HC the 'server'
resources are just proxies to the remote process. To access the attributes
of those resources you'd have to proxy to the remote process, which happens
transparently with WildFly management but which we don't support for JMX.
Probably we shouldn't expose the mbean at all, although that may be easier
said than done.

When the server isn't launched yet there's a kind of non-proxy placeholder
resource for it on the HC  that is the registration point for ops like
start (which is why a resource even exists.) It exposes a few minimal
attributes, which seemed like a minor nice thing to do but I can see how it
can be confusing:

[domain at localhost:9990 server=server-three] ls -l

ATTRIBUTE                   VALUE   TYPE

launch-type                 DOMAIN  STRING

runtime-configuration-state stopped STRING

server-state                STOPPED STRING

It seems a bunch of us have been getting wildfly-dev mails routed to our
spam folders, so apologies if we seem to be ignoring things.
