[jboss-as7-dev] "Read" operations

Kabir, A couple more comments re: [1] following the discussion in #jboss-as7: 1) Instead of or in addition to the READ_ATTRIBUTE_OF_TYPE op, I was looking for something like: { "op" => "read-children-names", "op-addr" => [ ("profile" => "production") ], "child-type" => "subsystem" } which would then return a list of the names of all subsystems. 2) Assume people are going to have to type some of these a lot, so let's find short names for these operations: a) public static final String READ_ATTRIBUTES_OF_TYPE_OPERATION = "read-attributes-of-type-operation"; "read-attributes-of-type" if the behavior remains the same, else "read-children-names" b) public static final String READ_NAMED_ATTRIBUTE_OPERATION = "read-named-attribute-operation"; "read-attribute" c) public static final String READ_NODE_DESCRIPTION_OPERATION = "read-node-description-operation"; "read-resource-description" d) public static final String READ_OPERATION_OPERATION = "read-operation-operation"; "read-operation-description" e) public static final String READ_OPERATIONS_SUMMARY_OPERATION = "read-operations-summary-operation"; "read-operation-names" f) public static final String READ_SUB_MODEL_OPERATION = "read-sub-model-operation"; "read" For this last one, we could add a required=false "attribute" param, make the existing "recursive" property required=false, and collapse b) and f) into a single operation named "read". WDYT? I have a desire to replace "read" with "get" in all of the above, but that may be too many years of Java development talking.
