------------------------------------
Attachment: configprinter.patch
Proposed solution for handling different modes for configuration printers
> Enhance configuration printer support
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-1993
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1993
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Web Console
> Affects Versions: webconsole-2.0.4
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Attachments: configprinter.patch
>
>
> Currently I see three possible enhancements for the configuration printer:
> 1. Allow configuration printers without requiring the web console api - we
> already have this for plugin that can be plain servlets. It would be nice if
> we could do the same for configuration printers as well.
> The problem here is which interface to use. The servlet interface could be
> used but at the same time, this interface requires request and response
> objects while the configuration printer should only write stuff - nothing
> else.
> The title could just be a registration property.
> 2. Distinguish between configuration printers which display content in the
> web console, printers which just add stuff to the zip/download, and printers
> doing both. Current a configuration printer is always displayed in the web
> console and always included in the zip/download. There are use cases (like a
> printer for log files where the consoel shows only the recent log file and
> the zip contains all rotated files) for having printers for just the download
> and I guess having printers for just the console could make sense as well.
> An alternative would be to pass a mode into the configuration printer like
> MODE_DISPLAY and MODE_DOWNLOAD.
> 3. I'm not sure about this one but it came to my mind while thinking about 2.
> What about allowing a configuration printer to add a file to the download zip
> instead of just providing text? For example the printer could just add all
> log files instead of reading them and making a long text. For example if you
> have a log file with log rotation and there are already 15 log files. It
> would make sense to have all 15 files as separate files in the zip together
> with usefull names. But usually only one conifguration printer would do this.
> We could imagine other stuff like adding graphics to the download etc. - but
> maybe we should think about this if we really need it :)
