Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-3005:
---------------------------------------------
One of the biggest problems with portability is that the Login mechanisms tend
to be container-specific. This is going to cause an issue if we want to do,
say, client-auth with TLS certificates and protect the shell-in-the-monitor
resource with confidential transport guarantees, as we do today. We can still
probably write this more sensibly with JAX-RS annotations, but the wiring is a
bit more complicated if we support portability between containers.
That said, I'm a big fan of separating the library portion of the web service
(the POJOs, servlets, resources, whatever) from the container, so it can be
made portable. I just don't know that we need multiple modules for the monitor
right now to support that separation.

> The monitor works well for what it does, but it's very much so cobbled
> together. HTML is hand generated. Static state is used liberally which makes
> testing near impossible. View and controller logic are tightly intertwined
> which also adds to the testability problem.
> I've been working on porting the functionality from the existing monitor to a
> proper rest service using
> [dropwizard|https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/]. It's not completely
> functional yet, but it has a number of improvements of the existing monitor
> code.
> I thought I would post what I have already and let people give some feedback
> if they're interested. Help is always welcome.
