[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5558) More useful error messages when management operations can't be found

More useful error messages when management operations can't be found -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5558 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5558 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Domain Management Reporter: Brian Stansberry Fix For: 7.2.0.CR1 When the ModelController attempts to find the OperationStepHandler for a given operation + address, it needs to handle failure more intelligently. Instead of providing a one-size fits all exception, it should try to determine why the OSH couldn't be found and tailor the exception accordingly. Specifically, clarify whether the problem is the address is invalid or the operation name is invalid, and if it's the address that's invalid, clarify the point in the resource tree where the address goes wrong. For example, a user attempting to administer a server that has already been shut down gets this fairly useless exception: Error loading VM metrics Unexpected HTTP response: 500 Request { "operation" => "composite", "address" => [], "steps" => [ { "address" => [ ("host" => "master"), ("server" => "server-one"), ("core-service" => "platform-mbean"), ("type" => "memory") ], "operation" => "read-resource", "include-runtime" => true }, { "address" => [ ("host" => "master"), ("server" => "server-one"), ("core-service" => "platform-mbean"), ("type" => "threading") ], "operation" => "read-resource", "include-runtime" => true }, { "address" => [ ("host" => "master"), ("server" => "server-one"), ("core-service" => "platform-mbean"), ("type" => "runtime") ], "operation" => "read-resource", "include-runtime" => true }, { "address" => [ ("host" => "master"), ("server" => "server-one"), ("core-service" => "platform-mbean"), ("type" => "operating-system") ], "operation" => "read-resource", "include-runtime" => true } ] } Response Internal Server Error { "outcome" => "failed", "failure-description" => "JBAS010850: No handler for operation read-resource at address [ (\"host\" => \"master\"), (\"server\" => \"server-one\"), (\"core-service\" => \"platform-mbean\"), (\"type\" => \"memory\") ]", "rolled-back" => true } The reality is no resource exists at address /host=master/server=server-one. The failure message should emphasize this fact.
