[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-692) read-resource(include-aliases=true) handler always returns aliased children, even if no resource exists at the target address

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-692?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Paul Ferraro updated WFCORE-692: -------------------------------- Description: Just because an alias is registered doesn't mean a child resource necessarily exists at the target address. The handler needs to validate that a resource actually exists at the target address rather than assuming it does. This causes read-resource(recursive=true, include-aliases=true) to fail. Here's an example: I have a alias registered that translates: {noformat}/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=*/local-cache=*/file-store=FILE_STORE{noformat} to: {noformat}/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=*/local-cache=*/store=file{noformat} If I create a cache without a file cache store (which is perfectly valid), the corresponding read-resource operation returns a child for file-store=FILE_STORE, even though it returns no child for file=store (the target address), since no such child resource exists. This is very problematic, since it makes aliases impossible to use if the target child resource is not always present. was: Just because an alias is registered doesn't mean a child resource necessarily exists at the target address.
