Hi everyone,
We've now removed the UI client from trunk, the only UI now is a HTML-only demo
that lets you preview widgets (thanks Ross for the improvements to this - I
like the filter especially!)
I'd like to turn the navigation part into a widget, that shouldn't be
hard the way it is currently implemented. Just need to find a little
time to do it. This is *not* a blocker though. It is one more step
towards extracting all the UI functionality out of core.
Widgets
======
Drop into /deploy folder, or use REST API. The only function not supported
outside of the REST API is deleting widgets.
So how do we delete a widget in a running instance of Wookie? Seems
like a necessary feature (but not a blocker).
I presume you'd use the RESTAPI - see
org.apache.wookie.tests.functional.WidgetControllerTest for an example.
To be honest I can't think of another way to do it. You could watch the
unpacked widget folder, and if it vanishes trigger a delete, but that bothers
me a bit as it may not be the intention, and deleting widgets has lots of
side-effects (deleting related instances, preferences).
Agreed, I don't think thats a good way to go.
The question I have is: is this sufficient to consider WOOKIE-262 completed?
I'm happy to close it and add a new lower priority issue on the delete
widget requirement above. Also happy to lower the priority with the
delete widget requirement remaining in the original issue.
I guess this probably covers it. If we find anything else we've missed then we
can open a new issue for it (more specific)
The only other thing is that WOOKIE-262 also mentions a command line management
utility (is this a provided .bat and .sh script?)
That was the original intention - but maybe thats not needed now?
We could just open a new issue for it and give it a lower priority.

If so, I'll get on with sorting out the remaining documentation so I can close
WOOKIE-19& WOOKIE-15.
This email is a good start for FAQ documentation.
