In the GWT UI, for compatible and mixed groups, we should be able to edit the "recursive" flag. today its fixed, it can't change once the group is created. In JSF, we had the ability to turn on and off recursive-ness, so we know the SLSBs support this. Just need the GUI to expose it.
git commit ffd054195e9efc6946c5824a8fc2e80c04de6535 bug 662337 introduces a new editable form item that is being used to help fix this issue. while fixing this issue, I also fixed a problem in ResourceGroupManagerBean.setResursive (see git commit 073c3c9dd5cfc49d30d2989561038a5e2e75b9de) to test the fix: 1) create a non-recursive group, containing 1 agent resource 2) view the group 2a) notice the left hand tree shows no child nodes, just one top root node 2b) expand the summary section to see the recursive setting value 3) notice it says "Recursive: No". Hover over the "No", and click the edit icon 4) check the checkbox and either hit "enter" or click the "OK" icon 5) you should see a green info message saying the recursive setting was set and the setting should now say "Recursive: Yes" 6) refresh the screen with F5 7) notice the left-hand tree now - it shows child nodes. Seeing child nodes indicates that this is a recursive group.
Verified on build101 (Version: 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT Build Number: 712d0e1) Followed the steps and verified that the non-recursive group after editing the recursive value from 'no' to 'yes' and after a refresh, shows the left-hand tree with child nodes. Marking as verified.
