Virtual-host from jboss-web.xml not applied to deployments

Using a standalone server, deployed a war with jboss-web.xml. The jboss-web.xml had only one entry for virtual-host (but it was not the default one). The virtual host was defined on the server prior to the deployment. The virtual-host setting was not applied correctly and the web subsystem under the deployment was reporting virtual-host as 'default-host'.

The sample jboss-web.xml used:
<jboss-web>
<virtual-host>test</virtual-host>
</jboss-web>

CLI output:

[standalone@localhost:9999 subsystem=web] pwd
/deployment=hellothere.war/subsystem=web
[standalone@localhost:9999 subsystem=web] :read-resource
{
"outcome" => "success",
"result" =>

{ "context-root" => "/hellothere", "servlet" => undefined, "virtual-host" => "default-host" }

,
"response-headers" =>

{"process-state" => "reload-required"}

}
