[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-692?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Paul Ferraro updated WFCORE-692: -------------------------------- Description: If a resource exists with the same key as the target address of a resource alias, read-children-names can return incorrect results. 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} Additionally, I have a resource named: {noformat}/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=*/local-cache=*/store=none{noformat} If I create a cache that uses store=none, the corresponding read-children-names(child-type=file-store, include-aliases=true) operation returns the name of the FILE_STORE resource, even though the target resource (i.e. file=store) does not exist. This additionally causes the /subsystem=infinispan:read-resource(include-aliases=true, recursive=true) operation to fail. was: If a resource exists with the same key as the target address of a resource alias, read-resource-children 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
