Ken Wills commented on WFCORE-43:
---------------------------------

[~bstansberry]

I've got a working patch for this, but the naming is being a bit problematic:

(1) server-state / host-state: My initial thought was to name this status, to match the status attribute on servers, but reading the mail archives this seems to be thought overly broad. Alternatives could be process-state, or run-state or running-mode, still thinking about this one. It seems that process-state would be a good match for both.

(2) new state to replace the running state: I've just got a placeholder for now, until we settle on a final name, the mail archives again talk a lot about it being in-sync, / out of sync so perhaps using something like 'synchronized' would work, but it seems overly-complicated sounding. (alternatives , up-to-date, config-synced ... others?)

> This JIRA is to implement what I described in the dev list discussion around the various states a server can be in for graceful shutdown (http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/wildfly-dev/2014-June/002360.html)
> "I do think these are orthogonal and should not be combined.
> The existing attribute is fundamentally about how the state of the 
> runtime services relates to the persistent configuration.
> STARTING == out of sync due to still getting in sync during start
> RUNNING == in sync
> RELOAD_REQUIRED = out of sync, needs a reload to get in sync
> RESTART_REQUIRED = out of sync, needs a full process restart to get in sync
> There are two problems though with the existing attribute that exposes this:
> 1) It's named "server-state" on a server and "host-state" on a Host 
> Controller. Really crappy name; way too broad.
> That's fixable by creating a new attribute and making the old one an 
> alias for compatibility purposes.
> 2) The RUNNING state is really poorly named.
> The could perhaps be fixed by coming up with a new name and translating 
> it back to "RUNNING" in the handlers for the legacy "server-state" and 
> "host-state" attributes."
