[2:08pm] bstansberry: emuckenhuber: WDYT about a recursive-depth=X param to :read-resource, :read-children-resources?
[2:08pm] emuckenhuber: bstansberry: i think that would make sense
[2:08pm] bstansberry: smarlow: stumbled on the non-intuitive nature of making include-runtime-true,recursive=true illegal
[2:09pm] smarlow: lucky me
[2:09pm] bstansberry: i doubt you are the 1st or last
[2:09pm] bstansberry: in your particular use case, reading more than 1 level makes sense
[2:10pm] bstansberry: emuckenhuber: so, what semantics?
[2:10pm] bstansberry: i.e. how do recursive and recursive-depth relate?
[2:11pm] emuckenhuber: i added something like that to the Resource readModel
[2:11pm] bstansberry: yep
[2:11pm] emuckenhuber: i have -1 as recursive, not sure if that makes much sense though?
[2:11pm] pferraro left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[2:12pm] bstansberry: it's ok in Resource
[2:12pm] bstansberry: in the mgmt API "undefined" can work for that
[2:13pm] emuckenhuber: ah, ok yeah
[2:14pm] bstansberry: emuckenhuber: so "recursive-depth" would be extra info that's irrelevant if ! "recursive" => true ?
[2:15pm] bstansberry: and perhaps if "include-runtime" => true you have to set "recursive-depth" or the op fails validation?
[2:16pm] emuckenhuber: so include-runtime wouldn't be allowed with only recursive=true ?
[2:16pm] bstansberry: well, we allow it now, but here is what you get:
[2:16pm] bstansberry: read-resource(include-runtime=true,recursive=true) only returns result = "result" => {"hibernate-persistence-unit" => {"2lc.jar_TEST_PU" => {"cache" => {"2lc.jar#TEST_PU.Employee" => {}}}}}
[2:17pm] bstansberry: we ignore "include-runtime"
[2:18pm] emuckenhuber: yes, perhaps we should fail in that case then
[2:18pm] emuckenhuber: i guess we don't want to allow recursive=true,include-runtime=true ?
[2:19pm] bstansberry: I guess we could
[2:19pm] bstansberry: the risk is people suck out huge amounts of data by mistake
[2:20pm] bstansberry: so the extra param reduces the chances of it being a mistake
[2:20pm] emuckenhuber: yes, i think so as well
[2:22pm] emuckenhuber: for standalone it shouldn't be an issue - but having the domain op behave differently would also suck
[2:23pm] bstansberry: yeah
[2:23pm] bstansberry: IIRC we already have a separate rule re: proxies
[2:26pm] emuckenhuber: true, then it shouldn
[2:26pm] emuckenhuber: 't be an issue after all?
[2:27pm] bstansberry: well, standalone could be an issue
[2:27pm] bstansberry: we are starting to expose a lot of metrics
[2:28pm] bstansberry: it is tempting though to just allow it
[2:28pm] bstansberry: explaining complex semantics, blech
[2:29pm] bstansberry: I'm going to say let's just allow it unless someone starts arguing in the next minute
[2:30pm] emuckenhuber: hehe, ok
