When you add a new alias, I install a new AliasControllerContext into the Controller, for the alias to be a full dependency item. This new AliasControllerContext gets the name after alias --> alias + "_Alias". So when you are interested if alias already exists or is pending, you need to know this impl detail. But I wouldn't want this detail to be exposed outside AbstractController. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4071210#...
