Short-term, yes a direct replacement for the SUN adapter, with a few changes to provide JBoss branding and possibly (if easy to implement) collapsable hierarchy of JMX domains, so the first look shows only the top level domains and does not overwhelm the admin with ever MBean in the system. Longger-term, I want a simple pluggable view system which uses consistent l&f. The current SUN-like adapter would then become a view (perhaps the default, using tab-like nav or something similar & simple). Then a JNDI view, with collapsable tree-like view (would be a replacement for curremt JNDIView MBean) Then other views can be created which provide a rich set of admin functionality on top of the basic MBean system. For example, consider a wizard-like view which walked an admin through the steps of creating a new JMS Queue or ConnectionFactory. The view would gather information, then eventually invoke some target MBean to get the work done. I think that JMX is a good base for raw administration, but we need to provide some sugar on top to make it easier and straight forward for anyone to use. That said, I don't have time or the expertese to build such a web app now, and perhaps never will. So I am trying to motivate others with such skills and motivation to work together to make this happen. Once my plate empties a little more, I will be starting to work on the telnet/ssh access + sctiptable interface, as I am very motivated to do that. If you have time and energy to help with the web console, along with anyone else (I am sure there are at least a few), that would be great! The concept is simple, and the code is not hard... just need to find the right people who can spare some time. --jason ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
