Re: [jBoss-Dev]

Hi   I am working on the JMX Connector which was created to allow remote Administration tools to work on several jBoss instances.   From my point of view there are two ways to make an administration console: 1) A generic GUI which shows the attributes of the services and let the user invoke the desired methods 2) A tailored GUI for each know service   The first is just showing the attributes of the different MBeans and invoking the methods offered in the MBean interface. This approach is very flexible but do not guide the user nor give him enough support.   The second shows the services in a way that it is easy for the user to see what's going on and what he can do to change the system. This approach is easy to use for the user but you have to change the console every time the services (MBeans) changes or new services are created.   Either way IMO the administration console should support the following: - use of JMX technology to access the services, its attributes and methods - the console should be able to run locally (jBoss instance) or remotely which also means that it     should be packaged that it can run outside of the jBoss instance - when the console runs remotely use the JMX Connector and allow the user to connector to more     than one jBoss instance (maybe also locally).   At the moment there is a lot of movements around JMX (final release came out and jBoss or at least the JMX Connector must be changed appropriately) and I try to design the JMX Relation Service for jBoss.   By the way what did you already accomplished?   Have fun Mad Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Niranjani To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2000 11:31 PM Subject: [jBoss-Dev] hello i am working on developing a GUI based console for the administration of Jboss server....could you please give me some details for that.If anybody is currently working on any similar work please reply to help me in that part.The console should have the status of applications that are deployed and the object view showing the currently active objects in the server.The console should also support authentication when started and then show the various details for the server admin.
