[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-6046) Logging indicates "missing dependency" not the cause of the error.

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6046?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12737569#comment-12737569 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-6046:
---------------------------------------

It is unlikely that an error message referencing the xml file will be provided; certainly not in AS 7. The parsing is long finished by the time the missing dependency is detected and the logic that detects the failure is generic and unaware that the faulty configuration came from xml vs a management client like the CLI or admin console.

However, there should be an ERROR level log message during boot. There won't be if you add the datasource post-boot via the CLI or admin console, since in that case the error message is propagated to the client. But during boot there should be and if there isn't, that's a bug.

> If the Data sources config is incorrect so that the <driver> element does not match an existing driver, the error message is cryptic.
> JBAS014775:    New missing/unsatisfied dependencies:
>       service jboss.jdbc-driver.db2xa (missing) dependents: [service jboss.data-source.java:jboss/datasources/myDS]
> I would expect a log message at ERROR level, there is no error message while other data sources are loaded.
> Missing dependencies is printed on a line with no error level and the text of the message does not relate to the XML.
> I would expect the error message to indicate something about where to fix the error.
> e.g an XPath 
> subsystem[xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.0"]/datasources/datasource/driver.
> or some text that indicates the <driver> element is the problem.
