Description
When a property expression is used at place where expression usage is not allowed then error message which is shown is quite confusing. From user point of view (especially the newcomer) it would be nice if the error message shows the real reason - usage of expression at place where is not permitted.
Maybe CLI could warn on usage of expression on place where is not allowed too.
Documentation recommends configuration with CLI, editing of XML file is common too. More of it there are some tasks which are harder to be done with CLI and editing XML is faster/easier.
Examples:
Setting
/subsystem=ee/managed-executor-service=default:write-attribute(name=context-service, value="${my.context.service}")
ends with this error message during startup
14:13:21,076 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([ ("subsystem" => "ee"), ("managed-executor-service" => "default") ]) - failure description: { "WFLYCTL0412: Required services that are not installed:" => ["jboss.concurrent.ee.context.service.${my.context.service}"], "WFLYCTL0180: Services with missing/unavailable dependencies" => ["jboss.concurrent.ee.executor.default is missing [jboss.concurrent.ee.context.service.${my.context.service}]"]}
another confusion is setting name of host in host-slave.xml file. When set as
<host xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:4.2" host="${host.name}">
then NullPointerException is thrown.
