[jboss-as7-dev] write-attribute handling [WAS] Who is porting what to detyped?

Kabir, Related to the porting work, please have a look at https://github.com/bstansberry/jboss-as/tree/attributes If it looks good, I'll merge it into detyped2 in the morning. That's support for a "write-attribute" operation that can work for any attribute that has a handler registered. The operation takes 2 params: name -- the name of the attribute value -- the new value Resource descriptions will now include a new field for attributes called "access-type". It will have one of 3 values -- read-only, read-write, write-only. Those are generated by the registry; they don't need to be added by the DescriptorProvider. If it looks good, use of this mechanism should be the standard way to handle the simple "setFoo" type operations. People would write an OperationHandler to handle the operation, and call ModelNodeRegistration.register(ReadWrite|WriteOnly)Attribute("foo", handler). I'm sure we can write one or two abstract handlers (with an abstract method to validate the value) plus probably a few concrete ones for some basic common use cases (e.g. accept any non-null String value). OT: I noticed the global operations all have "request-properties" as part of the operation structure. That level should only be part of the operation's description, not part of the operation itself.
