Description

The model underlying the Java Broker now makes a distinction between actual attribute values and effective attribute values. For instance a virtual host might have an effective storePath attribute of:

virtualHost.storePath=/Users/keith/work/mytrades

but an actual value of:

virtualHost.storePath=${qpid.work_dir}/mytrades

When editing an object through the UI, the 'show' tab should show me an object's effective values, whereas when editing, the dialogue should offer me the actual value for edit.

This change will alter the UI so that actual values are offer on all edit dialogues.
