[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-2089) Infinite wildfly boot on StartException in service start

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-2089?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13335607#comment-13335607 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on WFCORE-2089:
------------------------------------------

The main problem I believe is internal calls by the server itself, where now we have a new requirement for some service that is easily misconfigured by the user, and that doesn't do anything obviously beneficial to the handling of internal calls. We've added fragility for little gain.

Presumably if the realm service fails to start, the management interface services depend on it so they won't start. So outside callers should not have access that way.

Even if we abort the start of the server, I am not confident this call path will not prevent a clean abort. Perhaps not now but it seems quite easy to inadvertently make some change  and end up calling into this.

> Following exception (and probably similar too) will cause wildfly frozing during start. Visible especially during integration tests (which will never ends), but reproducible directly too (see steps).

> *Update:* This problem with infinite boot will occure everytime the start() method of some service throws StartException(). Not an Elytron problem.
