I think the problem is restricted to just the '_JMSConnectionFactoryProvider_'. Just verified that the `Broker URI` uses a custom validator and it uses `NON_EMPTY_VALIDATOR` and not `NON_EMPTY_EL_VALIDATOR`. I checked with other controller services and the EL resolves fine on them. I'll do quick build and test. If everything works, I'll raise a PR.

>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Core Framework
>    Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.6.0
>            Reporter: Matthew Clarke
>            Priority: Major
>
> Create a new process Group.
> Add "Variables" to the process group:
> for example:
> broker_uri=tcp://localhost:4141
> client_libs=/NiFi/custom-lib-dir/MQlib
> con_factory=blah
> Then while that process group is selected, create  a controller service.
> Create JMSConnectionFactory.
> Configure this controller service to use EL for PG defined variables above:
> ${con_factory}, ${con_factory}, and ${broker_uri}
> The controller service will remain invalid because the EL statements are not properly resolved to their set values.
> Doing the exact same thing above using the external NiFi registry file works as expected.
