[wildfly-dev] Proposal: Batch Job Visibility Restrictions

Currently a deployment can view, stop, restart or abandon any batch job that has been submitted or has been executed that exists in the job repository. This includes batch jobs from other deployments if the job repository is shared, which is the default. I cannot however start a batch job from another deployment. I'm proposing we limit visibility so that a deployment can only access jobs which belong to that deployment. I'd like to get some opinions on this. There are some, possibly unacceptable, repercussions. For example if a user has a deployment that displays information about batch jobs for all deployments this change would break that. However it does seem wrong to allow any deployment using a shared repository to stop, start or abandon a job from a different deployment. One, probably more complicated, option would be to have an attribute on the job-repository to allow jobs to be visible to any deployment with access to the job-repository. -- James R.
