Rajith Attapattu commented on QPID-2413:
----------------------------------------

In rev 911509 in Qpid trunk, I added some error handling to catch the lexical 
cast errors and report a proper error message.
As a security measure the ACL request is denied.
This atleast prevents the broker killing the connection.

A proper mechanism needs to be put in place to validate ACL rules.

> The c++ broker accepts illegal values for the following ACL properties 
> maxqueuesize, maxqueuecount, policytype,
> Only valid ACL rules should be accepted and an exception should thrown at 
> startup time.
> At the moment the broker throws an exception at the point when the ACL rule 
> with illegal values is triggered.
> Steps to Reproduce:
> #set ACL rules vith invalid values
> acl allow tes...@qpid all queue maxqueuesize=18446744073709551617
> acl allow tes...@qpid all queue maxqueuesize=-1
