When using cli for batch files using --file and --properties arguments, any property is resolved but for those defined in the connect command line.

The properties file contains (among the others):
server.bind.addr = xxxxx
server.management.port = 9990

Having:
connect ${server.bind.addr}
in the batch file gets
ERROR [org.jboss.as.cli.CommandContext] Failed to resolve host '${server.bind.addr}': Failed to create URI: Illegal character in authority at index 16: http-remoting://${server.bind.addr}:9990

Having:
connect ${server.bind.addr}:${server.management.port}
gets:
ERROR [org.jboss.as.cli.CommandContext] The port must be a valid non-negative integer: '${server.bind.addr}:${server.management.

If i use literal values for the connect command, any other property in the batch is correctly resolved (but that's exactly what i was trying to avoid)
