When creating a pooled-connection factory via the CLI the syntax for the "connector" is confusing. Here is a simple example:

/subsystem=messaging/hornetq-server=default/pooled-connection-factory=my-pooled-connection-factory/:add(connector={"in-vm" => "xyz"}, entries=["java:/MyPooledCF"])

The "connector" wants a list of name-value pairs, but only the name is taken into consideration. This command results in this XML:

<pooled-connection-factory name="my-pooled-connection-factory">
    <connectors>
        <connector-ref connector-name="in-vm"/>
    </connectors>
    <entries>
        <entry name="java:/MyPooledCF"/>
    </entries>
</pooled-connection-factory>

The "xyz" is completely unnecessary.

I believe this is because org.jboss.as.messaging.jms.ConnectionFactoryAttributes.Common#CONNECTOR is defined as a org.jboss.as.controller.SimpleMapAttributeDefinition and it should probably just be a org.jboss.as.controller.PrimitiveListAttributeDefinition when used in the pooled-connection-factory.
