"Ignore failure" for management operations ------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-1395 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1395 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Domain Management Reporter: Ondrej Zizka Most operations don't follow any "overwrite" concept. To emulate it, one needs to check for existence of a resource, conditionally delete it, and then create the new one. This is not easily applicable in a batch. Implementing overwrite for all actions would be tedious. But this could help: Another "standard" property (similar to {{address}} and {{op-name}}) "onFail=ignore" or such, which would make the operation not fail if an exception occurs. A short CLI syntax could be a '?' at the end of operation's name: {code} /foo=bar/boo=baz:remove?() {code} This would allow mgmt API users to queue a removing operation without knowing if it exists; thus, effectively, doing an overwrite.
