[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5950) Streamline :read-resource-description

Streamline :read-resource-description ------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5950 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5950 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Domain Management Reporter: Heiko Braun Assignee: Brian Stansberry Fix For: 7.2.0.CR1 We have a need for a streamlined read-resource-description operation response. In many cases we only need the attribute descriptions and from those descriptions only a subset of the meta data available. For instance: {noformat} "enable-statistics" => { "type" => BOOLEAN, "description" => "Whether statistics should be enabled.", "expressions-allowed" => true, "nillable" => true, "default" => false, "access-type" => "read-write", "storage" => "configuration", "restart-required" => "all-services" } {noformat} Clients that require information about the structure don't need: - access-type - storage - restart-required In many cases we don't even need - operations - children Would it be possible to further parametrize the read-resource-description operation to allow these distinctions? This would help to reduce the overall payload size when clients communicate with the DC and improve thus improve the overall performance. Not to mention parsing greatly benefits from a streamlined model as well.
