[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-8478?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Brian Stansberry commented on WFLY-8478: ---------------------------------------- This is true, but we should be careful about simple advice to use {allow-resource-service-restart=true}. That's a power user setting that should only be used by people with a very clear understanding of the effects. It's not in any way a "better reload". In this case {allow-resource-service-restart=true} is likely more useful, since I don't *think* bouncing the listener service will have widely cascading effects. But any advice to use {allow-resource-service-restart=true} should always include some comment on what the expected effects would be. The end user will very likely not have a clue and an uneducated guess will likely be too optimistic by far. BTW, I'm not arguing with rejecting this issue if there is no reasonable way to update the service without a service restart. And I have reason to believe there is such a way. My point is just about what message we send to end users. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
