Hi guys, Apologies for the recent radio silence, some distractions and my broadband at home being knackered for the last couple weeks have kept me somewhat silent. I am resuming residence in the university computer labs until its fixed though, cant survive at the house using my phone on GPRS any longer :)
I have put up my progress in in a branch at /branches/jmx_mc_gsoc09 ( https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/branches/jmx_mc_gsoc09). This includes initial versions for some areas of the new UI, namely: UserMangement, LoggingManagement, and the view for individual Queue's. There is still some layout work to do on it, and as yet the result of operations is not explicitly reported (but in several cases, is immediately visible), mainly because i havent decided on the format: the traditional info/error dialog with ok button works, but a status bar report area might be a less intrusive/clicky solution. Where a table only has one linked operation (eg view message contents from a queue, or change a logger level) you can use the supplied buttons or jsut double click the desired entry. Where there are multiple possible commands you just use the buttons. The tables are all sortable, but the sort-indicators do not show up on Linux, though do on Windows (for me at least, which was lovely to discover after a wasting hours chasing it down on Linux :P). Going the other way this time, some of the custom dialog positioning is ok in Linux (centres to app) but totally wrong on Windows (heads off to near the upper left corner), ill need to add some code to handle that. It would be good for some feedback on whats there in general(particularly if you havent looked at the mock UI from a few weeks back), as it will no doubt influence what the rest looks like. Thanks, Robbie ======================= You can use the console on Windows, Linux (32 or 64bit), and Mac OS X (not tested as yet). You can get the package by using the ant 'release-bin' target from qpid/java/ which will build the console releases in /qpid/java/management/eclipse-plugin/release/ NOTE: SSL is enabled by default on the broker JMX connection and is using a self-signed cert in its keystore, so you have to supply the matching SSL truststore to the console for it to connect. Alternatively, just disable the SSL before launching the broker by using the option in etc/config.xml to toggle it off. If you do want to use the SSL, you can supply the necessary details in the qpidmc.ini configuration file in the root of the console release (or buried somewhere within the app package for OS X), which has a pre-configured example. Change the example to the values below to match the test keystore in the repository: -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<your.checkout.location>/qpid/java/test_resources/ssl/certstore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=password
