Very nice!

Hi all,
OSGI Bundle is a new item for Geronimo admin console and RFC 139
defines many Mbeans used to get bundle information in OSGI
environment. So it's necessary for admin console to show the
information of OSGI bundles.
Therefore, Rodger and I mocked up a couple of portlets. Here are
some screenshots for the mock UI. As you can see, we have two
portlets here, to show the bundle list and bundle information. It's
a initial draft based on Dojo widgets without full javascript
implementation.

In the attachment, 1 is the bundle list portlet, while 2 is the
bundle information portlet. Bundle list portlet gives a list of
installed bundles;besides, the portlet also allow user to stop/start/
uninstall bundles. Bundle information portlet is much simpler, it
only display the bundle information in OSGI framework. Mbeans
defined in RFC 139 is a way to obtain the information.
I assume that you'll format the exported and imported packages in the
same manner as BND in #1?
For better illustration, I added some markers (A,B,C,D,E) in
snapshot 1.
A - With these widgets, user can install any bundle from file
system. If "start" is checked, the bundle will be started
automatically after it's installed.Meanwhile, user can also specify
the start level of this bundle. I'm not sure if the "Deploy New"
portlet will be applicable for OSGI bundles, so I just mock the
installation UI according to Web console of Felix.
B - All the possible actions can be taken to bundles. Every bundle
can be selected through the checkbox in front of it. Each time an
action is taken to all the selected bundles. If the action is not
applicable for some bundles, these bundles will be ignored.
C - Each column in the table can be sorted by clicking the column
header. The up arrow stands for sort asending while the down arrow
stands for sort desending.
D - The textbox here is used to filter bundles by symbolic name.
Only the bundles with symbolic name containing specified text will
be shown. If no text provided, all the bundles will show
I would have a drop down box to the left so that you could enter in:
- imported packages
- exported packages
in addition to the Symbolic Name.
It would also be great if one could trace the wirings to help discover
where conflicts lie. Maybe this would be a different screen but I
think that tooltips that showed the wirings would be pretty helpful.
E - The drop down list here gives the possible status of an
installed bundle - "resolved","starting","active","stopping". It's
used to filter bundles by status. If one status is selected, only
bundle with status the same as selected value will be shown. If no
value is selected, all the bundles will be shown.
I imagine the status would update automatically via some kind of comet
call.
Again, very nice!
