Well ... sorta and sorta not ...
Aaron did some work in the Quartz plugin that included a brute force
method to add new items to the admin console via a GBean included with
the Quartz plugin that modifies the Pluto portal config. It's really
creative stuff within the limits of the current Pluto implementation
.... but it has its limits. It is only additive at the moment and isn't
really integrated with core Geronimo (as it's a super-intelligent GBean
that just knows the Pluto structure and this Gbean is currently bundled
with the plugin). Aaron, please correct anything that I didn't get
right ... I think what you've done is really cool.
I'd like to see if the newer Pluto includes some more dynamic update
capabilities (as I've heard that it does) but I haven't had a chance to
look yet.
So, back to your question ... yes it's possible but IMO, we really don't
have a complete solution for console plugability yet.

I would love to see that functionality included in Geronimo.
Do you think it could eventually become available as a geronimo- plugin?
Cheers!

Hi,
How about having a Certificate Authority portlet in Geronimo
Console? A full fledged CA may be a long way to go. But what ever
minimum function is required to process CSR's etc. is not hard and
the users can issue their own digital certificates instead of
getting trial certificates from some CA. I have already given it a
try and the minimum required function can be derived from what ever
is available in geronimo-util module.
I will wait for comments from community before proceeding further.
Thanks,
Vamsi
