> Key: FELIX-2185
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2185
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Web Console
> Reporter: Valentin Valchev
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: build.xml, build.xml
>
>
> With the current web console, after being updated to JQuery + JQuery UI the
> plugin structure becomes quite clear and simple:
> 1. There is a Servlet (AbstractWebConsolePlugin), which main role is to
> generate the required data for the plugin, typically a JSON and execute
> actions.
> 2. Although the actual rendering is in the Servlet, it use a template file,
> that contains the HTML markup
> 3. The main logic, that makes the interface interactive is JavaScript code,
> that uses the JSON from the Servlet and modifies the HTML markup.
> This separation makes it quite easy to develop applications in a static way
> replacing the upper components with:
> 1. a sample JSON data, statically generated
> 2. a HTML file that is equals to : header + template + footer
> 3. almost the same JavaScript code, that instead of using AJAX request to
> obtain the data, uses the sample data in 1.
> I must say, that personally have developer several plugins exactly using
> static HTML file.
> Although easy it consumes time to create that empty HTML file and start
> developing the plugin. It would be much easier, if we have an option to
> automatically generate a zip file - containing the HTML updated with the
> latest header footer, the JavaScript libraries, included by default (e.g.
> res/lib/) folder, common images and webconsole.css file.
> This task can be easily achieved with modern build tools. Because my minimal
> knowledge of the Maven build system, I've implemented that task in a simple
> ANT build file, which must be placed in the webconsole root folder. When ant
> is invoked with that file, it will generate a file named 'static-test.zip'
> that contains a template, which is ready for modification and includes
> up-to-date sources.
