variables and/or parameters available in CLI?

[dbschofield]

Is it possible to define or pass in variables when using jboss-cli.sh?

I would like to do something like

./jboss-cli.sh --file="myCLIcommands.txt" -Dhornetq.cluster.password=superSecret

Then in myCLIcommands.txt reference hornetq.cluster.password.

/subsystem=messaging/hornetq-server=default/:write-attribute(name=cluster-password,value=${hornetq.cluster.password})

The end goal is to leave the CLI scripts unmodified and pass in different values when configuring different clusters.

It's done as part of https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2676

But still waiting to be merged into master.

There will be a config option in jboss-cli.xml to resolve properties before the request is sent to the server. It won't be the default for backwards compatibility. By default, the values will be sent in the form of the property names and resolved on the server side.
