Possible to inherit a profile in AS 7 domain mode?

[dbschofield]

I am running JBoss AS 7 in domain mode.  I would like to create a profile that has all the subsystems of an existing profile.  Is it possible to create a new profile and simply reference the existing 'default' or 'ha' profile to include all of its subsystems in my new profile?

Looking at the schema file jboss_7_0.xsd it appears that I should be able to use

     <include profile="default"/>

So I added the following to the domain.xml

     <profile name="new_profile">
            <include profile="default"/>
      </profile>

in anticipation of having a new profile exactly like the default profile that I could start adding new subsystems to.  When I start the domain controller I get the following exception:

I added a subsystem just to see what I would get.

        <profile name="new_profile">
            <include profile="default"/>
            <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:ee:1.0"/>
        </profile>

This time the domain controller started up fine and I see my new profile in the console.   However all the subsystems I would expect to be included from the default profile are not their.  The console tells me "No manageable subsystems exist."

Any insight into properly including another profile would be greatly appreciated or have I stumbled upon a possible bug?

We are discussing how best to deal with inherited/included profiles:

http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jboss-as7-dev/2011-June/002804.html

http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jboss-as7-dev/2011-July/002874.html

So although a /profile=new_profile:read-resource returns nothing you should see the i when doing a /profile=default:read-resource, and when doing a /host=master/server=your-server-using-new-profile. (I probably did not get the addresses 100% right but hope it makes sense anyway :-) )

Hey!

Does anyone know what happened to this?

I'm trying this in Jboss as 7.1.2 but the schema is not happy about the <include> inside a profile.

Best regards,
