Hi guys,
> this should be easy enough to launch another window with the requested url.
Indeed, but you might also want to override UI logic for handling "open
console" functionality for VNC protocol in WebAdmin:
[in MainTabVirtualMachineView, around line 223 that adds ConsoleModel-bound
action button]
getTable().addActionButton(... {
@Override
protected UICommand resolveCommand() {
ConsoleModel defaultConsoleModel = getMainModel().getDefaultConsoleModel();
final UICommand defaultConnectCommand = defaultConsoleModel != null ?
defaultConsoleModel.getConnectCommand() : null;
if (defaultConnectCommand != null && defaultConsoleModel instanceof
VncConsoleModel) {
// Replace default VncConsoleModel's Connect command with custom
functionality
return new UICommand("Connect", null) {
@Override
public boolean getIsAvailable() {
return defaultConnectCommand.getIsAvailable();
}
@Override
public boolean getIsExecutionAllowed() {
return defaultConnectCommand.getIsExecutionAllowed();
}
@Override
public void Execute(Object... parameters) {
if (!getIsAvailable() || !getIsExecutionAllowed()) {
return;
}
WebUtils.openUrlInNewWindow("Custom popup window title", "url from
novnc-server");
}
};
} else {
return defaultConnectCommand;
}
});

i can't say i like the idea of launching these on the engine, but we can
start with making this work first with these limitations. hopefully
these aren't too resource intensive.
ohad - how do you deal with this in foreman?
adam - i saw you pushed these rpms to fedora - can you share how this is
launched in openstack?
on the technical side, you can launch an external process with the
relevant parameters.
though we probably need to consider how we could do this not via shell
locally, rather via a remote call to allow setting this up on another
server than the engine.

this should be easy enough to launch another window with the requested url.
