Description Lukas Krejci 2013-01-22 13:29:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
Have a resource that can discover some content but is not in itself a content-backed resource (for example a JBoss AS 4 server, that can discover the jar files in its lib).

In CLI, call:

var id = <ID OF THE AS4 RESOURCE>
var content = ContentManager.getBackingContentForResource(id)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.6.0-SNAPSHOT (but the code has been incorrect since forever, with the last change to the behavior on 5th Jan 2012)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for the content of the AS4 resource to be discovered (takes a while after it is imported to the inventory)
2. In CLI, call:

var id = <ID OF THE AS4 RESOURCE>
var content = ContentManager.getBackingContentForResource(id)

Actual results:

The content variable is non-null and contains an instance of "InstalledPackage" object pointing to one of the "jars" discovered inside the AS4 server.
  
Expected results:
The method should probably throw an exception complaining that AS4 server is not a content backed resource.

message: [BZ 902823 - Nonsense data returned as backing content of non-content-backed resources] The UnsupportedOperationException is thrown when the resource is non-content-backed. I was checking also the usages of the method and it seems to be ok.

message: [BZ 902823 - Nonsense data returned as backing content of non-content-backed resources] Instead of throwing the exception, the null is returned. Now it's in compliance w/ the the method's jdoc.
