----------------------------------

             Summary: Web-console for inherited config uses wrong DSL evaluation context
                 Key: BROOKLYN-455
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-455
             Project: Brooklyn
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Aled Sage
            Priority: Minor


With 0.11.0-SNAPSHOT, I deployed the app shown below:
{noformat}
services:
  - type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.stock.BasicApplication
    brooklyn.config:
      ownConfig: parentValue
      exampleConfig: '$brooklyn:config("ownConfig")'
    brooklyn.children:
      - type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.stock.BasicEntity
        brooklyn.config:
          ownConfig: childValue
          refExampleConfig: '$brooklyn:config("exampleConfig")'
{noformat}

As expected, the {{refExampleConfig}} gets the "exampleConfig" value, which is a DSL evaluated in the context of the entity that declares it. It therefore has the value {{parentValue}}.

However, the web-console's view of the child entity's config also shows the inherited config {{exampleConfig}}. It shows the value {{childValue}}, which I think is wrong - 
it has evaluated the {{$brooklyn:config("ownConfig")}} in the context of the child entity instead of the parent. As demonstrated by {{refExampleConfig}}, it would have a different value if actually used.
