Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-2644:
------------------------------------------
In addition to plugin enablement, we also have an issue with the
WebConsoleSecurityProvider.authorize method, which is not used yet. So if we
touch the PluginHolder class for the enablement class, it would probably make
sense to add support for the authorize() method as well.
> cannot disable plugin

> Key: FELIX-2644
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2644
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Web Console
> Affects Versions: webconsole-3.1.2
> Reporter: Valentin Valchev
>
> Something went terribly wrong! I cannot disable a plugin from the
> configuration.
> The reason for this is that the plugins are initialized during startup. In
> the constructor, the Web Console will lookup the configuration and see if
> plugin is disable. If so, it will be ignored, otherwise the plugin will be
> instantiated and ready to use.
> However, configuration delivery is asynchronous, so you don't know when the
> configuration dictionary is delivered and in my case, it is 'updated' a
> little bit after the initialization. So initially, when the web console is
> initialized, it has 'null' - default configuration and all plugins are
> enabled. Then later on, after updating the configuration I disable as example
> the 'shell' plugin.
> Unfortunately, the web console will not check if the plugin is disabled, when
> the browser is opened and the 'shell' plugin remains visible.
> Putting the plugin initialization in the constructor, means, that there is no
> way to actually disable a plugin and all internal plugin will be instantiate
> and visible by default, Even if they are not needed, there is no browser
> request for them or disabled by the configuration.
