             Summary: Streamline :read-resource-description
                 Key: AS7-5950
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5950
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Domain Management
            Reporter: Heiko Braun
            Assignee: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: 7.2.0.CR1


We have a need for a streamlined read-resource-description operation response. In many cases we only need the attribute descriptions and from those descriptions only a subset of the meta data available. 

For instance: 

{noformat}
"enable-statistics" => {
                "type" => BOOLEAN,
                "description" => "Whether statistics should be enabled.",
                "expressions-allowed" => true,
                "nillable" => true,
                "default" => false,
                "access-type" => "read-write",
                "storage" => "configuration",
                "restart-required" => "all-services"
            }
{noformat}


Clients that require information about the structure don't need:

- access-type
- storage
- restart-required

In many cases we don't even need 

- operations
- children

Would it be possible to further parametrize the read-resource-description operation to allow these distinctions? This would help to reduce the overall payload size when clients communicate with the DC and improve thus improve the overall performance. Not to mention parsing greatly benefits from a streamlined model as well.
