Hi Geeks
According to my other post about the administration GUI and EJX
I want here to discuss the design of the Administration GUI Frame-
work (AGF for short now).
Because jBoss is a composition of services I like to make the AGF
the same way. Therefore the AGF provides use with the following
services:
- Authentication and Authorization (thankx Juha)
- Security (secure data transfer, access control, logging etc.)
- Search and connection to local/remote jBoss instances to be
managed
- Pluggable structure for service management components (MBeans)
- Configuration service (get and set of configuration properties to be
available to all parts of the AGF)
- Support for advanced GUI features like Icons with Drag and Drop
etc.
- GUI Framework with Menu, Working Pane, Help system (JavaHelp)
etc.
By the way IMO Diagnostic (as Juha mentioned) shoud be MBean
service(s) offered by jBoss and the AGF should only provide a GUI
representation of this MBean(s) because I would like to reduce the
communication interface to JMX.
What do you think?
Have fun - Mad Andy
