Michael Golubev commented on AS7-3561:
--------------------------------------

Hello, 

This change broke IDEA support of JBoss 7 (http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-81489)
In IDEA, we have used 'validate-address' operation in 2 cases:
1) check whether server is ready for remote administration - call to 'validate-address' without address
2) check whether deployment is registered on the server -  call to 'validate-address' with 'deployment=<artifact name>' as the address
 
As I can see from the AS7-3561 and from the actual CLI of the JBoss 7.1.0 final, now, validate-address:
- could be executed without address only
 (execution with 'deployment=<artifact name>' fails with JBAS014739: No handler for validate-address at address [("deployment" => "=<artifact name>")]
- requires the 'value' attribute
 
But, 'value' attribute seems not to expect address or just broken itself, since every value I've passed as the 'value' fails with JBAS014749: Operation handler failed: null
(I've tried empty string, "/", "/deployment=<deployed artifact name>/"...)
 
Could you please describe what is expected as 'value' or confirm 'validate-address' is broken now?

Regards, 
Michael

> Current implementation is not safe in a sense that the operation fails if the address is not valid. There is no safe way, i.e. a boolean result, not a failure, to check whether an address is valid.
> The idea is to change the current validate-address so that:
> - it's only a root operation, not inherited like the current impl;
> - add an address argument (the current impl has no arguments), which will be the address to check;
> - the result type should be a boolean value;
> - in case of failure, include a message into the response describing which part of the address is wrong.
