Display Tabular Data

[nsyed4]

I think this was asked previously. I'm unable to locate the post. How do I make table from the returned data from my operations. Example, my operation returns a two dimensional array of string objects. On the RHQ GUI, it is just displayed as an object such as java.lang.@34242... I want to display the output as a table. As far as I remember there was an example of a Hibernate plug-in. Can someone please point me to the solution again.

Take a look at the hibernate plugin - it does this very thing (the statistics operation results in a tabular map of statistics):

Specifically, you need to write a resource component in your plugin to map your operation results into a Configuration object, as this hibernate component does:

Oh, and you'll need to know how to declare this metadata in your descriptor - see the hibernate plugin descriptor as an example:

This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks.
