Erwin Dondorp updated ARTEMIS-3584:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: (was: screenshot-2.png)
> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: screenshot-3.png
>
> Time Spent: 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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.
> A first look:
> !screenshot-3.png!
> TODO:
> * setup initial view (build+test)
> * switch views (build+test)
> * revert bytes-representation to browser-side, otherwise it is always sent
> twice, once for Hex and once for Decimal
> * test with all protocols and all message types
> * cleanup
> It may take a while before the matching PR is ready...
