Hi Shiva,
here are some thoughts I believe may help improve usability.
- Add a *Back* button on each screen. Currently the only option is
*Cancel* if you made a mistake while entering the data.
Currently browser's back button can be used for going back to the
previous screen. If it is not intuitive, let me know and I will add a
*Back *or *Previous *button. OR wait, the plan creator for EARs that I
am currently working on is Dojo 1.0 based, where instead of a sequence
of pages I am using Dojo tabs, and hence navigation becomes lot more
easier than Next/Previous buttons. If it comes up well I can implement
the same for web-apps as well. Let me come up with something that you
can also see and we will discuss this further.
I would rather avoid using browser's back button, specially when configuring something (most of the time you end up loosing the info you already entered).
Tabs should do the trick ;-)
- It would be cool to have the ability to create an additional
resource reference directly from the wizard. For example when
installing a DB app it would be nice to be able to create the JDBC
connection pool as well as specifying the resource ref name right
there. Currently it lists existing pools, maybe add a *New* button,
create the pool and then come back to the previous screen. Same
thing would be useful for JMS, java mail, etc.
Sure. That's my intention as well. I am yet to figure out how to achieve
this.
Would a "pop-up" with just a portlet for configuring the new resource work?
Cheers!
Hernan
I'll keep testing it and will provide more feedback. BTW, nice work!!!
Thanks :) for looking at it.
Cheers!
Hernan
