Plugin needs reloaded after time for adminConsole.access.allow-wildcards-in-excludes=true to work again

[akrherz]

As reported as a workaround to restAPI returning 302s, one needs to touch the restAPI.jar plugin to get Openfire to reload the plugin. The reproducing procedure seems to be

Openfire 4.9.2 , RestAPI Plugin 1.11.0

1. Set adminConsole.access.allow-wildcards-in-excludes=true
2. Observe the restapi works for a while
3. A moon or two later, the restapi plugin stops working and always returns HTTP 302
4. Touch the plugin jar file touch /opt/openfire/plugins/restAPI.jar and Openfire reloads the plugin
5. restAPI plugin starts working again

My guess is that step 3 involves having Jetty restart with updated SSL certs...

Just to lamely denote that this continues to reproduce, now on openfire 5.0.2-snapshot even :/
