Hi Duplex,
sorry for the late reply. First off, I pushed an initial import of the new
console to git. You can see it for instance in our github mirror:
https://github.com/apache/ode-console
In order to get it run, build it with 'gulp build' and then copy the dist
contents to the exploded ODE web app. If you want to use 'gulp serve' you
need to setup CORS. When using Tomcat 8, it is pretty easy: Go to the
explorer ODE web app, open web.xml and add the following snippet:
<filter>
<filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Please let me know if you have troubles with that, it is possible that I
broke something when cleaning it up for the initial import.
Now, regarding your questions: BPELviz uses XSLT to transform BPEL to HTML.
A part of this project would be to improve this translation to produce HTML
that looks a bit nicer, and is also capable of rendering not only blocks,
but also a directed graph (for flow activities with links). I think we
should try to keep these things separate. It would be nice to have BPELviz
in a way so that it can create a nice HTML representation out of any BPEL
file. Then in the second step, we can incorporate this into ODE. I think a
good point would be do the translation during the deployment. In this step,
ODE will compile BPEL to an internal representation. At the same time it
could also create the HTML representation. The ODE console could then
request this HTML representation via a Web service call and include it into
the instance view. On top of that, we can implement the monitoring
features, that highlight/annotate those activities that have already been
executed.
Let me know if you have any questions or if I was too unclear...
Thanks,
Tammo
