The configuration API should return the instance created via the API. This will allow LOGMGR-188 to be reverted and simplify how the persisted configuration will be written. Changes to the object instance will not be reflected in the configuration API. This is however the desired behavior for properties that should not be written to the configuration file.

An example use case of this will be for WildFly. A SocketHandler may be created based on an SSLContext configured in Elytron. This handler can be created without the configuration API and the handler will be set on a DelayedHandler instance that will be created via the configuration API.
