--------------------------------------
Summary: show multiple representations of the payload on "Browse
Queue"
Key: ARTEMIS-3584
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-3584
Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Web Console
Affects Versions: 2.19.0
Reporter: Erwin Dondorp
A message payload can be viewed in a few different ways: text, hexadecimal
bytes and decimal bytes, or a combination of these. However, when a message
payload follows the internal structure of its protocol, it is indistinguishable
whether the text that is shown is the actual payload for a text message, or the
representation for a structured message.
I'm proposing a new visualisation, in which multiple (relevant) representations
of the message payload are shown in a tabbed area. Basically the tabs are added
to the message description and message payload fields that already exist.
Selecting a tab will just replace the content of these 2 fields.
The following tabs are proposed:
* Text
* Hex
* Decimal
* AMQP
* Large
* Compressed
The first 3 (Text/Hex/Decimal) are always visible. The "Text" tab is only
active when the message has an actual text payload, otherwise it is inactive.
The Hex and Decimal tabs are always active, except for large messages. The last
3 tabs (AMQP/Large/Compressed) are only visible when the message-payload is of
that type. The AMQP tab shows the simple AMQP data structure in a JSON-like
notation, and the Large and Compressed tabs just inform the user that the
message is large or compressed. Using 3 separate tabs for this quickly informs
the user that the text that is shown is a representation and not the actual
text.
All relevant representations are generated on the server-side, including the
hex and decimal representations that previously were constructed on the
gui-side.
The construction of representations that are similar between the message
protocols is now shared code. this applies to text/hex/binary.
The preferences option "Browse Bytes Messages" is now removed. Instead, the
system will remember the last representation that was used. otherwise the first
active representation is selected.
