In EAP 6.1.0, NPE happens when I add ejb3/cache using the following cli:

./subsystem=ejb3/cache=my-cache:add(passivation-store=infinispan)

with the next outputs.

ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (management-handler-thread - 1) JBAS014612: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([

When I add the aliases attribute, it becomes OK, but aliases attribute is nillable, it should ok without the aliases attribute.

And it's OK in EAP 6.0.1 withoutthe aliases attribute.

So I did some research, and it turned out the StringListAttributeDefinition#unwrap will return null when the attribute is not defined.

I also believe there are more subsystems have the same problem other than the ejb3/cache.
