[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2088) CLI usability: Parse compound operation parameters

[Alexey Loubyansky (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2088?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12634661#comment-12634661 ] 

Alexey Loubyansky commented on AS7-2088:
----------------------------------------

I wouldn't use the word "inconsistent" here, since it's the format for complex *values*.
But, honestly, I do agree the current format is not a user-friendly one and it has to be improved.

The DMR format was the first natural choice, since at the end it's still gonna be a DMR ModelNode. And, perhaps, it will still make sense to support this format even if we come up with a friendlier CLI-specific format.

I'm gonna think more about this one and send an email to the dev list to discuss.

> Currently, CLI does not parse compound operation parameters and relies on ModelNode.fromString() method.
> This means that an user have to use "key" => "value" notation to denote compound parameters. This is inconsistent with the rest of CLI using key="value" notation.
> As an example, to add https connector one needs to use:
> /subsystem=web/connector=https:add(socket-binding=https, scheme=https, protocol="HTTP/1.1", enabled=true, ssl={ "certificate-key-file" =>"/tmp/test.key"}))
> command instead of more straightforward:
> /subsystem=web/connector=https:add(socket-binding=https, scheme=https, protocol="HTTP/1.1", enabled=true, ssl={certificate-key-file="/tmp/test.key"}))
> This is never documented.
> Also any exceptions thrown by ModelNode.fromString() are discarded. I think they should be reported back to the user. (DefaultCallbackHandler lines 448-453)
