replace sources tabs with links

[tom.baeyens]

This topic is part of the web console feedback: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JbpmConsoleFeedback

I would not display the sources for tasks and processes as separate tabs. I would make them links in the task instance view and the process instance view. Wether or not the links to the sources are visible should be configurable. One configuration in jbpm.cfg.xml should control the visibility of all the source links.

In the suite, i think it is a good idea to turn on those links. As we will have more examples deployed out of the box and evaluators can then immediately browse the webapp and take a look at the sources.

Agreed

I do not fully agree, how do they open then? In a new page? Or inline in a 'stack panel' instead of a tabpanel? If it is in a new page, how do I navigate back? I do not want to use the menu for that (my opinion) Tabs can be made hidden as well, so I'm in favour of keeping them on the tabs

[tom.baeyens]

I think these should be links with a back navigation option. Because this is a developer/demo/evaluation version only type of features that you don't want in your production system.

A link will minimize the difference between the evaluation version and the 'real' version.

A link will minimize the difference between the evaluation version and the 'real' version.

Why? It will either be 'links not visible in production' or 'tabs not visible in production'

but I go with the majority ;-)

The action I will take here is to create a separate page for viewing source code, with a "Back" link. There will be a link from the process instance view for process source, and a link from the task instance view for task form source.
