Also, we haven't solved the problem of things that have expected children, e.g. the /subsystem=jmx/connector=jmx where jmx is the ONLY name allowed for the connector. There are a few other places in the model that have this same setup as well. >> Alexey >> >> On 01/12/2012 04:33 PM, Kabir Khan wrote: >>> Alexey, >>> >>> Can you provide a bit more input on the discussion on https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/1081 but on this thread? >>> On 11 Jan 2012, at 18:08, ssilvert(a)redhat.com wrote: >>> >>>> I believe that add operations are now done correctly as far as the tool >>>> is concerned. >>>> https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/1081 >>>> >>>> We needed to prompt for a resource name that gets filled into the >>>> address path.

For example, the ee extension has the add operation in its list, which gives the op: "/extension=org.jboss.as.ee/:add(module=sasasa)". Which is a bit pointless since it already exists, and there is no way to add a new extension.

Connect to the running process with jconsole, and go to the jboss.as:management=server mbean (appears as simply 'server' in the list. This corresponds to the root resource. In the operations it has an addXXX operation for each child type. e.g. >>>>>> >>>>>> addExtension -> /extension=*:add >>>>>> addSubsystemEjb3 -> /subsystem=ejb3:add >>>>>> addSystemProperty -> /system-property=*:add >>>>>> addSubsystemJaxrs -> /subsystem=jaxrs:add >>>>> Or to use your logging subsystem example, go to jboss.as:subsystem=logging (appears as just 'logging' in jconsole), and you will see addSizeRotatingFileHandler, addPeriodicRotatingFieldHandler, addLogger etc. >>>>> >>>>>>> Beyond that, there is no way for the tool to know what params are >>>>>>> required for a new entity. :read-operation-description(name=add) >>>>>>> doesn't usually help in this case. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> IMO, each management handler should fully implement the add operation, >>>>>>> specify the expected params, and never rely on default behavior.
