The reason the server was aborting is because MSC was locked up because a bunch of services were doing JMX calls and blocking. MSC being unable to stabilize triggers a failed boot and an abort. But my guess is your JMX change will remove the problem with MSC not stabilizing, and we'll just be left with this service not starting. And that alone won't trigger abort. I think it's ok for AccessIdentityAddHandler to add a Stage.VERIFY step that checks that the IdentityService is up and calls context.setRollbackOnly() if not. That will ensure that boot rolls back and aborts if that service isn't up. I think the key thing though is to get that blocking future.get() out of there. <vaguely-waving-hands>Perhaps use the IdentityService itself as the Supplier(s).</vaguely-waving-hands> It knows if it has completed start(), and if yes, its suppliers return the domain, if not return null. Until IdentityService completes start, this facility is unavailable, and if it doesn't complete start the server is going down. was (Author: brian.stansberry): Not really.
