ContextForwardServlet should have a registration mechanism
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-2478
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2478
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: console
Affects Versions: 1.1.1
Reporter: Aaron Mulder
Fix For: 1.1.2, 1.2
Currently the ContextForwardServlet must be deployed separately for each URL
path to redirect.
This does not work well for plugins, nor will it work well for a more
fine-grained console composed of multiple optional bits of functionality.
Instead, the ContextForwardServlet should listen on a single path (say,
/portlet-resources) and then have a registration mechanism that lets you add
sub-mappings dynamically (/portlet-resources/foo/* -> web app 1 and
/portlet-resources/bar/* -> web app 2). Presumably something where it has a
collection of GBeans and each web app that wants to register some forward with
the console deploys one or more instances of the web app.
