Hi Aaron,
So we *do* have a way to extend the console at deploy time (either
plugin deployment or application deployment)? Will this handle updates
to the pageregistry and portletentityregistry? Is there also a
mechanism to "undo" the changes when a plugin or application is
undeployed? If so, then that is excellent!!
Right now it's kind of at the "prototype" stage. The installation
works (though you have to either restart Geronimo or hit a specially
crafted URL to get the portal to reread its config files). There is
no uninstallation, because Geronimo doesn't have any hooks for things
to execute when uninstalled. There's a Jira to allow plugin
installation scripts, and as soon as we do that we can support the
uninstall.
Still, I don't see how we can reasonably add an LDAP portlet to the
console otherwise.
I wasn't aware of anything in this area to make the console extensible
and was thinking that we really needed this (esp. since Geronimo itself
is extensible).
It'll be better to switch to a more dynamic portal server, but this
will do us for now.
Has this been integrated in other places or just with gplugins (whatever
that is ... I just started to see what I could find on this based upon
your response)? Is there any more information that you can point me to
on this?
There's a Quartz plugin that adds a screen to the console which you
can build from source. I haven't distributed it because the screen
has next to nothing on it, but it does demonstrate the functionality.
The project page is http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplugins/ though I
haven't really done a ton with it yet.
Thanks,
Aaron

this portlet as a standalone WAR? The gplugins project has a GBean you can add to
geronimo-web.xml that can install portlets into the console.
