AbstractAddStepHandler doesn't let AttributeDefinitions record default capability requirements ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-779 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-779 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Domain Management Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Alpha4 Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: Brian Stansberry Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.0.0.Alpha6 AbstractAddStepHandler.recordCapabilitiesAndRequirements(...) has this: {code} ModelNode model = resource.getModel(); for (AttributeDefinition ad : attributes) { if (model.hasDefined(ad.getName())) { ad.addCapabilityRequirements(context, model.get(ad.getName())); } } {code} That 'if' check removes the opportunity for an AD to register a requirement based on the default value of the attribute. SimpleAttributeDefinition includes logic for doing that, so not giving it a chance to execute is inconsistent. AbstractWriteAttributeHandler also doesn't include any such limitation.
