This is great! Thanks Shawn!
Some minor comments:
1. The performance of the tree is not ideal in FireFox. I know DOJO
is not a performance sweet. Not sure whether we can do anything here.
Because the change to separate navigation from content page, the
navigation tree will be only loaded for one time. So, this might
not be a problem.
Is it possible to describe how this works so that someone who doesn't
know much javascript (me) can understand the principles?
2. The color scheme looks a little gray. Shall we make them a little
brighter?
I agree, we can improve the style after the function design is
finalized.
3. The filter box is cool. As I mention in another topic thread, we
can put a default text "type filter text"
Right, I have not figured out a way to do this for now. But I
believe we can do this.
4. A small defect: after a function is launched through the filter
box, the focus on the tree menu does not change right now.
Right, we need to improve the focus after the users launch the
function from the filter box.
5. Can we support page refresh? Currently it usually show the
welcome page after a page refresh.
Aha, I did not consider this problem. Thanks for pointing this out !
I figured out a way to support this. : )
1, Maintain a map in the server side to keep key-->URL entrys.
2, When a tree item is clicked , the address bar will be rewriten
with javacript code "window.location.hash=#{key}" without refreshing
the whole page.
3, When the users refresh the page manually, the #{key} will be
passed to the server to get the correct URL to display.
I haven't had time to look at this yet. However, this is sounding a
lot like the client-side portal via javascript that jetspeed
supports. It might possibly be worth looking into what they are doing
for ideas.
thanks

I redesigned the navigation system of geronimo Web console because
we need to re-org the navigation tree to improve the usability. I
uploaded a patch with JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4994
, in the patch:
1, Use number-number-number format in the portal page title to
define the menu sequence. For example:
Welcome (defined as 0/Welcome in plan.xml)
Server
-----XXXX
...
-----JMS Server(defined as 1-8/Server/JMS Server in plan.xml)
...
...
2, Use DOJO Tree as the navigation menu tree.
3, The navigation tree is separated from the portlets content. No
tree and banner download are needed when clicking a portal page.
4, Quick launch box, just type menu item name in the box and press
enter to quick launch a function.
When the UI design above are accepted. I'll followup the path to
complete Non Functional Requirements:
1, G11N
2, Selenuim Testsuite update.
3, Finalize the menu items position because the current sequence in
the patch is for demo only.
4, The patch is based on Tomcat G server in 22 branch. I will port
it to jetty as well as other branches after this UI design is
accepted.
Any comments will be appreciated,
