----------------------------------------
Summary: An attribute that another attribute 'requires' should be
allowed to be undefined if another attribute in the same set of 'requires' is an
alternative
Key: WFCORE-2674
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-2674
Project: WildFly Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Domain Management
Reporter: Brian Stansberry
Assignee: Brian Stansberry
Right now ValidateModelStepHandler checks whether all attributes a defined attribute lists
in 'requires' are themselves defined. It ignore the presence of alternatives
settings. However in discussion with [~jfdenise] we've concluded that allowing
undefined do to any 'alternatives' isn't right either. Rather, for a
'requires' to be superceded by an 'alternatives', only alternatives that
are themselves part of the same set of 'requires' are relevant.
Imagine three scenarios:
I.
1) A requires B, C
2) B and C are alternatives to each other
User configures A and B is ok. Or, user configures A and C is ok. Configuring A, B, C is
not ok.
II.
1) A requires B, C
2) B and C are alternatives to each other
3) B and D are also alternatives
User configures A and D and therefore must configure C, but not B. Configuring C satisfies
the "requires" B.
III.
1) A requires B, C
2) B and C are NOT alternatives to each other
3) B and D are alternatives
User configures A therefore cannot configure D, must configure B and C. Configuring D does
not satisfy the "requires" B.
