[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3012) Setting enable-welcome-root="false" in standalone.xml works, but disappears from the file at shutdown

Setting enable-welcome-root="false" in standalone.xml works, but disappears from the file at shutdown ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-3012 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3012 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Web Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Beta1 Reporter: Jim Crossley Assignee: jaikiran pai Details from IRC: <jcrossley3> hey guys, if i set enable-welcome-root="false" in standalone.xml, and then start jboss, and stop it, i look in the file and the attribute is gone. where do i set it so the change persists across restarts? <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: which version of AS7? [00:47] <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: 7.1.0.Beta1 <jcrossley3> it's actually an early EAP6 release <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: and is it just the fact the attribute is missing from the xml or does it also prevent your custom app from being deployed at root context? <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: the latter [00:49] <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: ok, looks like a bug then. if this is reproducible in upstream, could you please create a JIRA? or else i can take a look at this in about an hour and check it myself <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: the strange thing is that once i set it, it seems to be set correctly for subsequent runs, but i wouldn't know it by looking in that file. [00:50] <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: what do you mean by subsequent runs? the subsequent runs after the restart? <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: yes, multiple restarts of jboss <jcrossley3> in other words, if i set it to true, my integration tests will fail each time i run them. i set it to false, and they pass, but i lose the attribute from the file (but the behavior remains, weird right?) [00:52] <jcrossley3> Jaikiran: the attribute disappears no matter what i set to the first time the server shuts down after setting it. <Jaikiran> jcrossley3: my guess is that it has to do something with the not writing out the value of an attribute if it's the default value <Jaikiran> but that's just a guess
