[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5950) Streamline :read-resource-description

[Heiko Braun (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5950?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12734437#comment-12734437 ] 

Heiko Braun commented on AS7-5950:
----------------------------------

Eventually a simple "scope" parameter would do the job:

- "scope=full": returns everything, acts as default (backwards compat)
- "scope=attr": just the attributes, like described above
- "scope=foo": just bar

> 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.
