I'm seeing this as a "hotspot" during bootstrap. | org.jboss.kernel.plugins.registry.AbstractKernelRegistry.getEntry(AbstractKernelRegistry.java:89) | org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController.getContext(AbstractKernelController.java:154) | org.jboss.dependency.plugins.AbstractDependencyItem.resolve(AbstractDependencyItem.java:128) | org.jboss.dependency.plugins.AbstractDependencyInfo.resolveDependencies(AbstractDependencyInfo.java:143) | org.jboss.dependency.plugins.AbstractController.resolveContexts(AbstractController.java:951) | org.jboss.dependency.plugins.AbstractController.resolveContexts(AbstractController.java:889) | org.jboss.dependency.plugins.AbstractController.resolveContexts(AbstractController.java:834) | org.jboss.dependency.plugins.AbstractController.change(AbstractController.java:672) | org.jboss.dependency.plugins.AbstractController.change(AbstractController.java:455) | org.jboss.system.ServiceController.doChange(ServiceController.java:664) | The reason is that it gets called a lot and throws KernelRegistryEntryNotFoundException when the context is not installed yet. Absent doing the work to remove the deprecated KernelReigstry we should probably just add a findEntry() method that returns null and use that from the KernelController. The only reason this call exists is because of the KernelRegistryPlugins support for which should be moved to the KernelController.
