To finally bring the JBoss GUI flying let's start
a project for that ;-)
Yeeay
My idea of the JBoss GUI would be a dynamic, expandable
and version aware GUI helping an administrator, deployer
and Developer dealing with JBoss.
The idea is a core JMX design
- with some standard panes to subclass - unified look ?
This m(b)eans anybody can start building GUI components *today* and deploy
in JBoss as bootstrapping until the separate core is ready ... cool ...
(Mmmm since it is JMX - JSR-77 based - We could make commercial extensions
for other J2EE players ... ? ... it suggest the core is free in JBoss but
paid to run againts other brands ... serialised key startup thingy ? ...
hmmm ... oki - later ... )
The basic requirements for the GUI would be:
- Able to add and remove GUI components on the fly
Dynamic MBean deploy folder ? ...
- Able to deal with different versions of JBoss
server components (GUI component must be able to
tell the GUI with which version it can work and
the GUI/user can select the right one).
THIS is not a top priority but should be dicussed
from the beginning.
cool - We should design it in directly ...
maybe We can use JMX relations for that ? ...
- Having an intra-component communication where I would
suppose using JMX for that.
Yes - our own implementation ? - since sun seems to productify it more and
more ...
- display and administration of JBoss servers by
using JSR-77 interface.
Where can one find more on JSR-77 ? ...
- having various wizards to deal with the descriptors,
deployment etc.
There might be one deployment one already made ! that could eventually *?*
be rewrapped into a MBean ? ... I am refering to the Together deployer
module for JBoss by Mike Swainston-Rainford ...
This is mainly why I suggested Together CE as a framework earlier - but it
is big and go against lean ... and there is a learning curve involved using
tg itself that foogs its immediate function - one could have the core run
inside tg as module if for those who wish to do so ... I know I do ;-)
By the end of the week I hope that we can create a project
web site to discuss this openly.
Who is doing the Loggo ? ;-)
First and top most discussion is what FRAMEWORK we are
going to use. I heard about Netbeans, plain Swing etc.
plain Swing - why - one primo vendor instead of huge x-tra add on api's
Your ideas and arguments.
ahhh - yes - a editor pane with fields directed throught ant ? ... ant
integration ? ...
The beauty of all this is that there can be several components that tackle
the same problem in different ways - without conflict - very OpenDocĀ'ish
...
Have fun - Mad Andy
