[jboss-as7-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAS-9112) Create an "operation-header" section in operation requests

[Brian Stansberry]

Heiko, Ike, Alexey (or others with thoughts):

In the operation request format there are a couple of extraneous bits 
that have crept in that basically tell the server information about how 
to execute the operation rather than the body of the operation itself.

Wanted to get your opinion on an idea that came up today  (see JIRA 
below) to segregate these from the rest of the operation.

Basically, instead of the current

{
  "operation"=>"add",
  "address"=>{"subsystem"=>"foo"},
  "paramX"=>"A",
  "paramY"=>true,
  "rollback-on-runtime-failure"=>"false",
  "rollout-plan"=>{.....}
}

It would be:

{
  "operation"=>"add",
  "address"=>{"subsystem"=>"foo"},
  "paramX"=>"A",
  "paramY"=>true,
  "operation-headers"=>{
     "rollback-on-runtime-failure"=>"false",
     "rollout-plan"=>{.....}
    }
}

Alexey, I first thought about the CLI just as I was about to send this. 
This idea would make setting this kind of thing via the CLI harder for 
users, which is a significant downside.
