Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	In previous versions of JBoss EAP 6, the logic in the operation to add a resource-adapter resource required that the target address be represented as a list of elements of DMR ModelType.PROPERTY. This meant that HTTP-based management clients that used JSON could not reliably create operations using the expected format (as representing the $PROPERTY element in JSON syntax can be problematic). In this release of JBoss EAP 6, the handler for the resource-adapter `add` operation has been updated to use standard address parsing code which is more forgiving of formatting differences. As a result, operations that add a resource-adapter using the HTTP interface and JSON similar to the example above now succeed as expected.

Description Libor Zoubek 2014-08-12 12:45:37 EDT

Description of problem:

JON plugin fails to create resource-adapters using HTTP management API, it can be created only using CLI.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
EAP 6.2.4.GA

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create resource adapter via curl
curl --digest -u admin:admin http://localhost:9990/management -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: */*" -v -X POST --data '{"operation":"add","address":[{"subsystem":"resource-adapters"},{"resource-adapter":"my-adapter"}],"archive":"test"}'


Actual results: it fails with response: 

{"outcome" : "failed", "failure-description" : "JBAS014749: Operation handler failed: null", "rolled-back" : true}

Server stacktrace: 

18:38:41,086 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (HttpManagementService-threads - 10) JBAS014612: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([
    {"subsystem" => "resource-adapters"},
    {"resource-adapter" => "my-adapter"}
]): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Expected results: {"outcome" => "success"}


Additional info: It's possible to create resource-adapter only via CLI
[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=my2nd-adapter:add(archive=test)
{"outcome" => "success"}

Comment 1 Brian Stansberry 2014-08-12 13:12:54 EDT

Not a CLI bug, since it seems the CLI works. This is either a core Domain Management issue, in how it reads the HTTP request, or a problem in the JCA component.

Comment 2 Brian Stansberry 2014-08-13 18:56:23 EDT

The problem here is RaOperationUtil is using a very unorthodox method of reading the address of the operation:

final List<ModelNode> address = operation.get(ModelDescriptionConstants.ADDRESS).asList();
final String id = address.get(address.size()-1).get(0).asString();

The issue is the ModelNode returned by "address.get(address.size()-1)".
 
When you use the CLI, the ModelNode is of ModelType.PROPERTY.

To create a ModelNode of ModelType.PROPERTY using JSON syntax is difficult. (TBH I'm not sure how to do it.) The syntax in the curl command results in a node of ModelType.OBJECT.

That get(0) call fails on ModelType.OBJECT. It's quite the quirk that it works for ModelType.PROPERTY.

Easy fix.
