-----------------------------------
Assign To: Aaron Mulder
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> Better help for bad references
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: GERONIMO-1888
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1888
> Project: Geronimo
> Type: Improvement
> Security: public(Regular issues)
> Components: usability
> Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Aaron Mulder
> Assignee: Aaron Mulder
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1

> If a GBean can't start beacuse of a missing reference, it would be great to
> give a more helpful error message. Like if the reference included the name
> "Foo", print a list of all AbstractNames including name="Foo" in the format
> you'd expect for the reference in question (slightly different for
> GBean-to-GBean references vs J2EE Component-to-Resource references, etc.).
> It would be great if it came out like this:
> Unable to resolve reference to <artifactId>bar</artifactId><name>Foo</name>.
> Did you mean one of these instead?
> * <artifactId>baz</artifactId><name>Foo</name>
> * <artifactId>other</artifactId><name>Foo</name>
> Unable to resolve reference to <artifactId>bar</artifactId><name>Foo</name>.
> There are no components with <name>Foo</name> in this module or any of its
> dependencies. Perhaps you need to add a <dependency> to this module and
> point it to one of the following modules which has a component with
> <name>Foo</name>:
> * mygroup/myartifact/1.0/car
> * other/something/3.4/rar
> This is aggravated by the fact that our resource target names are no longer
> JMX names, so we can't tell people to look up the component in the JMX debug
> tool. However, it's mitigated by the fact that you have to declare
> dependencies explicitly and can more often just use <name>Foo</name>.
