Issue

• Per company policy, JBoss configuration must not be changed on a running server. File permissions are set to read-only in support of this policy which causes startup to fail with the exception below. I could not find instructions to disable the configuration-history component and setting current-history-length and history-days to 0 had no effect on startup. How can JBoss be configured to start with a read-only configuration?
