             Summary: Failues in 'resolve-expression" op appear in server log
                 Key: WFCORE-149
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-149
             Project: WildFly Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Domain Management
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Priority: Minor


I happened to notice this in a server log:

11:53:48,854 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (management-handler-thread - 3) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ("resolve-expression") failed - address: ([]) - failure description: "WFLYCTL0211: Cannot resolve expression 'expression \"${unresolvable}\"' -- java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to resolve expression: ${unresolvable}"

That failure shouldn't end up in the server log; it's just a client mistake unrelated to server operation.

A guess is that it's logged because the OFE has the ISE attached as a cause, in which case a simple fix is to not attach the ISE, which adds no value.

Note the handler has a catch block above the one that throws this OFE that handles a SecurityException case. In that case it *may* be appropriate for something to appear in the logs, assuming tracing how the SE can happen indicates it could be triggered by a user fishing for an exploit. In that case a direct WARN in the log from the ResolveExpressionHandler instead of attaching the SE to the OFE and letting the OperationContext log an ERROR may be more appropriate.
