[JBoss-dev] AbstractKernelController behavior inconsistent

[Anil Saldhana]

Hi,
   There seems to be an inconsistent behavior in the
AbstractKernelController.

My test case code:

========================================================================
=
prepareTestDynamicLoginConfig(server, 
            new ObjectName("jboss:service=TestDynamicLoginConfig"),
null);
      try
      {
         server.invoke(serviceOName,"create", new Object[0], new
String[0]); 
         server.invoke(serviceOName,"start", new Object[0], new
String[0]);
         fail("Service should not have started");
      }
      catch(Throwable t)
      {
         log.debug("Service has rightly disagreed to start",t); 
      }
========================================================================
Is failing now because the MC instead of throwing an exception(unable to
start a service), is only logging the error as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------
14:50:19,015 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start:
name=jb
oss:service=TestDynamicLoginConfig state=Create mode=Manual
requiredState=Installed
java.lang.IllegalStateException: AuthConfig is defaulting to

Please advice on this inconsistent behavior.
