[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2284) Don't enable web console unless it is populated with data

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2284?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12680998#comment-12680998 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-2284:
---------------------------------------

What clients like the Arquillian test driver do is poll until the "server-state" attribute indicates the server is started:

    public boolean isServerInRunningState() {
        try {                    
            ModelNode op = Util.getEmptyOperation(READ_ATTRIBUTE_OPERATION, PathAddress.EMPTY_ADDRESS.toModelNode());
            op.get(NAME).set("server-state");

            ModelNode rsp = client.execute(op);
            return SUCCESS.equals(rsp.get(OUTCOME).asString())
                    && !ControlledProcessState.State.STARTING.toString().equals(rsp.get(RESULT).asString())
                    && !ControlledProcessState.State.STOPPING.toString().equals(rsp.get(RESULT).asString());
        } catch (Throwable ignored) {
            return false;
        }
    }

We've been thinking about how to do a notification or service installation thing to not bring up the console until everything is ready, but that may not be there in 7.1.2, so this kind of polling may be a necessary workaround for the console.

> Try logging into the web console immediately after the server starts. What you see is... nothing. We're missing all the data - deployments, modules... Basically, the menu on the left side doesn't show anything.
> If you refresh the console a little while after that (tens of seconds later), the data are all properly there. What I propose is that, until the data are available, the console be either disabled or with some sort of "Loading, please wait..." dialog preventing users from interacting with the UI.
