AS7: Vault element not fully written back

[anil.saldhana]

Dmitri, I am going to use this discussion thread on how I plan to test what you reported in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3102

I am going to start with a web application with a single servlet that has the @DataSourceDefinition annotation and see whether I can reproduce the bug.  If unable to reproduce, then I will have to look at your ear setup.

Update:  I have used the mvn archetype for JBoss that lets me create an ear with ejb jar and a web archive.  Let me see if I can reproduce.

I deployed a test web app that contains the @DataSourceDefinition  as outlined in https://community.jboss.org/wiki/AS7UtilisingMaskedPasswordsViaTheVault

Once the web app was accessed, I see that standalone.xml loses the vault options.

I think I have reproduced the bug and will investigate the cause for it.

Hi Anil,

the same issue you fixed in CommonXml.java exists in org.jboss.as.security.VaultResourceDefinition.VaultResourceDefinitionAdd (see my comment in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1623)

[anil.saldhana]

Dmitri,  the current fixes should get you going with the vault at the server/domain level. Correct?

I will fix the VaultResourceDefinitionAdd also.

[dimonv]

Yes, that's correct. Thanks. I haven't try it yet but am going to do that as soon as it's downloadable.

Nevertheless I tried both, at least vault config for security sub-system and started a discussion https://community.jboss.org/message/642488#642488

I'm not realy sure what is the purpose of the sub-system's vault.

When the vault functionality was introduced, we started with the security subsystem.  But then the AS7 architects opined that it is suitable at the server/domain level.  So that is where it went.  But I did not remove the security subsystem vault.
