             Summary: Remove vestiges of recursive step execution from AbstractOperationContext
                 Key: WFCORE-792
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-792
             Project: WildFly Core
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Domain Management
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Brian Stansberry


AS 7 supported a recursive mode of operation execution, where an OperationStepHandler would invoke a completeStep() method on the OperationContext and the OC would implement that by finding the next step and executing that. Result was a potentially very deep stack, e.g. during boot which has a lot of steps.

Because of the deep stack issue we implemented a non-recursive mode, and eventually removed support for the recursive mode from the OperationContext API.

But AbstractOperationContext still has code for the recursive mode; this task is to clean that out. It's a source of possible bugs, e.g. flaws in my initial attempt to implement WFCORE-787.
