Clarify the meaning of the 'server-state' and 'host-state' attributes --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-43 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-43 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Domain Management Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: Ken Wills Fix For: 3.0.0.Beta1 This JIRA is to implement what I described in the dev list discussion around the various states a server can be in for graceful shutdown (http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/wildfly-dev/2014-June/002360.html) "I do think these are orthogonal and should not be combined. The existing attribute is fundamentally about how the state of the runtime services relates to the persistent configuration. STARTING == out of sync due to still getting in sync during start RUNNING == in sync RELOAD_REQUIRED = out of sync, needs a reload to get in sync RESTART_REQUIRED = out of sync, needs a full process restart to get in sync There are two problems though with the existing attribute that exposes this: 1) It's named "server-state" on a server and "host-state" on a Host Controller. Really crappy name; way too broad. That's fixable by creating a new attribute and making the old one an alias for compatibility purposes. 2) The RUNNING state is really poorly named. The could perhaps be fixed by coming up with a new name and translating it back to "RUNNING" in the handlers for the legacy "server-state" and "host-state" attributes."
