             Summary: Deprecate OperationContext.Stage.IMMEDIATE
                 Key: AS7-6417
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6417
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Domain Management
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: 7.2.0.Alpha1


Stage.IMMEDIATE is just a shorthand for the 'stage' and 'addFirst' params exposed by the various OperationContext.addStep methods, equivalent to 'the current stage' and 'true'. It produces more understandable code to use, e.g. Stage.MODEL and 'true' than to use a fictitious Stage like IMMEDIATE, so IMMEDIATE should be deprecated as API bloat.

One problem with IMMEDIATE is its name leads people to think the step is executed *immediately*, i.e. as part of the addStep call. This is incorrect but is a reasonable mistake to make.
