One case I remember is to be able to debug only one of several clustered
servers. I wanted to start a cluster of 3 instances with 1 in debug mode
and one in 2 in non-debug mode. Since the debug-enabled attribute is a boolean,
I had to resort to the above to achieve this.
Regardless of data type, variable substitution is a nice GlassFish feature.
We should make every attempt to carry it forward/enhance. I favor changing the
API to fully support that in AMX (We can always say that variable substitution
won't be supported while using AMX, but that won't be well received).
