Add role based navigation customization support.
------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-5675
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5675
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: console
Reporter: Shawn Jiang
Fix For: 2.2.2, 3.0
the target is that a geronimo user could define role based navigation tree
easily without building geronimo from source code.
User could define an external file with something like this:
{noformat}
role name: role 1
navigation access pages:
"0/Welcome",
"1-1-1/Application Server/System Information/Server Information",
"1-1-2/Application Server/System Information/Java System Info",
"1-1-4/Application Server/System Information/Thread Pools",
"1-8/Server/Monitoring"
role name: role 2
navigation access pages:
"0/Welcome",
"1-1-1/Application Server/System Information/Server Information",
"1-1-2/Application Server/System Information/Java System Info",
"1-1-4/Application Server/System Information/Thread Pools",
"1-8/Server/Monitoring"
{noformat}
The role names must have been defined as group name in current realm. Then,
we could read this file into class[1] and filter the navigation tree according
to current user's roles.
As for the pages that are not in navigation tree, we should use a servlet
filter with the same role/access page mapping to block the address bar direct
access.
