Description

I added to qpid config.json a pattern matching alias so that any request to connect to a host for the mapped port/address also matches. With the "simplest" change ,it will simply match all provided host names to the default virtual host.
The port section in config.json is as follows:
"ports" : [ {
"id" : "0425f08c-0b3d-4e3e-8560-82eb6d458099",
"name" : "AMQP",
"port" : "${qpid.amqp_port}",
"authenticationProvider" : "passwordFile",
"virtualhostaliases" : [

{ "id" : "19cfbe00-bc19-4043-85e5-2db15b689fc6", "name" : "defaultAlias", "type" : "defaultAlias" }

,

{ "id" : "a9aa5b74-b678-4571-a170-66078b08ea01", "name" : "hostnameAlias", "type" : "hostnameAlias" }

,

{ "id" : "4a39dc5a-d97b-4467-afd4-7a4f9f6c18d9", "name" : "nameAlias", "type" : "nameAlias" }

,

{ "name" : "patternAlias", "type" : "patternMatchingAlias", "pattern" : "*" }

]
}, {
"id" : "c8451811-143d-47c9-8a86-5e939c506dbc",
"name" : "HTTP",
"port" : "${qpid.http_port}",
"authenticationProvider" : "passwordFile",
"protocols" : [ "HTTP" ]
} ],

But when cilent connected ,the error occurred like this:
Caught exception, exiting.
javax.jms.JMSException: java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta character '*' near index 0
