---------------------------------------
I was randomly thinking about this this morning. This comment is a bit of a brain dump:
The problem with adding a parameter to read-resource is the operation is global to all
resources (inherited from the root resource), but for many resources the expression
resolution is inaccurate. It's inaccurate because, for example, if the user contacts
the master HC and says
/profile=full/subsystem=web:read-resource(resolve-expressions=true), the master HC
can't usefully resolve. The set of environment variables, set of system properties, or
security vault the admin expected to be used when they added the expressions are not
available on the master HC, they are only available on a running server. So, the
"resolve-expressions" parameter is available everywhere, but the correct
behavior is not.
A solution to this is a separate operation, e.g. read-resource-resolve or
read-resolved-resource. This can be registered only for the resources where its behavior
is known to be valid. It can be registered as inherited, so adding it to a few spots in
the tree should be sufficient to make it available in great swaths of the tree. It could
be registered, for example, at:
1) The root resource for a server, since servers an expression in a server's resource
tre is invalid if it can't be resolved using one of the sources of expression
resolution available.
2) The /host=* resource tree on a HostController, since the HC must be able to resolve any
expression in that tree.
It's basically the domain-wide config stuff (i.e. from domain.xml) that wouldn't
support this operation.
Add resolve-expressions param to operation read-resource

Key: AS7-4657
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4657
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Domain Management
Reporter: Michael Voegele
Labels: expression, read-resource
When reading a resource remotely, it would be nice to have the possibility to have
expressions resolved.
Following does of course not work, as the code runs in a separate jvm.
{code:java}
private void readRecursive(ModelNode modelNode, String modelNodeName, Map<String,
Object> map) {
switch (modelNode.getType()) {
...
case EXPRESSION:
// this would be great but won't work as it runs in a different jvm
// ModelNode expression = modelNode.resolve();
// readRecursive(expression, modelNodeName, map);
map.put(modelNodeName, modelNode.asString());
break;
...
}
{code}
Therefore a param resolve-expressions for the read-resource operation would be good.
