We have tried Felix Web console before. We will have to make some changes
to integrate the Carbon framework authentication mechanism into this. We
can have this inside an IFrame like that DBConsole integration.

Please read the
https://docs.google.com/a/wso2.com/Doc?docid=0AXW7aoJmJW4wZGYzMnc2djJfMGdjOGN4cDUz&hl=en_USdoc.
That is mandatory reading for everybody in the engineering team.
