RHQ Plugin simple-property "default" attribute?

[mbidewell]

I am working on validating JMX RHQ plugins from RHQ 3.X against RHQ 4.7.  to set up services I use:

<plugin-configuration>

<c:simple-property name="objectName" default="<objectName>" readOnly="true"/>

<c:simple-property name="nameTemplate" default="<name>"/>

</plugin-configuration>

If I am not mistaken, the "default" attribute is deprecated in 4.7 (unless I am confused with defaultValue).  How to I set these properties without default?

Thanks

Pretty simple, Just leave that attribute. That attribute is not mantatory.

Thanks, so the default attribute still works as it does in 3.x?

Mark,

yes.

We were thinking of removing it, as having default & defaultValue are pretty confusing and they apply to different scenarios, so they could be unified.

That deprecation marker is in since a looong time (one should use the templates (iirc)), but effectively there are no plans to remove that in the near

future.

Pardon my ignorance, but what templates are you referring to?  is there a way other than "default" to specify values?

Thanks!

Yes, in a <c:template> section -- this can even have more than one deault and the user can choose from them.

the JMX-Plugin is probably the best example - see https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/rhq/rhq.git/tree/modules/plugins/jmx/src/main/resources/META-INF/rhq-plugin.xml#n49

If you go to a platform, inventory tab, children subtab, you can at the bottom run "manual import" - select the JMX server and you'll then be presented with a screen to choose from those templates.
