re: Web Console - HTML vs. Applet tree

[ivelin.ivanov]

To continue a topic started on the user forum:
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3845128#3845128

We would like to consider an all-HTML navigation tree to replace the applet for better startup time and portability. It has to support the following features:
1) lazy-loading
2) dynamic update without page refresh
3) righ-click context menu

If interested to prototype, raise your hand.

Hi Ivelin,

Can you elaborate on what you mean by right-click context menu and lazy loading? i.e., what do you want to lazy-load? thanks

- Right-click on an entry of the tree and see a list of contextual entries you can invoke
- lazy-load part of the tree only once you really need to open the sub-tree

Some questions:
- is the data available in xml format?
- is this always the full info or is there also an incremental /changes data available?
- is xmlrpc (for the changes) with javascript and xslt an option?
- are there ideas for a more complete gui? e.g. if you create a jms server, and want db persistency you get a drop-down list with all available connectionpools/datasources etc... kind of like Weblogic does?
- should the full jmx tree be available like it is now, or should that move to an 'advanced' part
- should newly created e.g. datasources be persitently stored?

Maybe there already are already anwsers on these questions but I didn't find them. Maybe this is the righ moment for some info on wiki?

I think btw that a gui could win even more people for JBoss. How is the competition doing this?
