If you can add a test demonstrating the problem to AliasResourceTestCase (in WildFly core), and let me know the branch, that will move this up my stack of things to look at.

> Just because an alias is registered doesn't mean a child resource necessarily exists at the target address.  The handler needs to validate that a resource actually exists at the target address rather than assuming it does.  This causes read-resource(recursive=true, include-aliases=true) to fail.
> Here's an example:
> I have a alias registered that translates:
> {noformat}/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=*/local-cache=*/file-store=FILE_STORE{noformat}
> to:
> {noformat}/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=*/local-cache=*/store=file{noformat}
> If I create a cache without a file cache store (which is perfectly valid), the corresponding read-resource operation returns a child for file-store=FILE_STORE, even though it returns no child for file=store (the target address), since no such child resource exists.
> This is very problematic, since it makes aliases impossible to use if the target child resource is not always present.
