It is possible to create a new File Handler with invalid log file (e.g. using a directory path as log file or location without writing permissions) without console showing some error message (action is considered successful). Steps to reproduce 1. Navigate Profile - Core - Logging - Handler - File 2. Add new File handler using this input relative to: jboss.server.log.dir file path: /foo/bar 3. save (Handler was successfully created) 4. Add another handler using this input relative to: jboss.server.log.dir file: /foo 5. save 6. console shows that handler was successfully created, even though exception have been logged on server side. Expected behavior: In second case handler shouldn't be created as obviously path ${jboss.server.log.dir}/foo is a directory (created when first logger was saved)
This is logging subsystem problem. Assigning to brian for further delegation
Need an upstream JIRA.
Verified with EAP 6.4.0.DR7.
