The file did start life as a copy of the default config file within the 
JBoss AS 7 install artifact. We then modified it. We would have reached 
pretty much the same final config file if we had approached it by taking 
the examples / code snippets from docs + blogs.

For MariaDB, I believe it was more written from doc snippets. It's a 
much smaller file that doesn't closely match the my.cnf in the default 
install.
