permissions.xml is not parsed if -Dorg.jboss.server.bootstrap.maxThreads is explicitly set ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-6657 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-6657 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Security, Security Manager Affects Versions: 8.2.0.Final, 9.0.1.Final, 10.1.0.Final, 11.0.0.Beta1 Environment: Reproduced on both Windows and RedHat machines. Reporter: Marius Ani If -Dorg.jboss.server.bootstrap.maxThreads is explictily set in Wildfly, then, the permissions.xml file is not even parsed when the application is deployed. Debugging the Wildfly 8.2.0 source code revealed the problem in org.jboss.as.server.ServerService#addService:218 {code:java} if (configuration.getServerEnvironment().isAllowModelControllerExecutor()) { serviceBuilder.addDependency(Services.JBOSS_SERVER_EXECUTOR, ExecutorService.class, service.getExecutorServiceInjector()); } {code} The org.jboss.as.server.ServerEnvironment#allowModelControllerExecutor property is set to true if -Dorg.jboss.server.bootstrap.maxThreads was set. The above 'if' seems a little strange because a default value for maxThreads is always set in org.jboss.as.server.ServerEnvironment#getBootstrapMaxThreads even when the -Dorg.jboss.server.bootstrap.maxThreads property was not specified. This may also cause other things to not work properly when -Dorg.jboss.server.bootstrap.maxThreads is set.
