Rex Wang commented on GERONIMO-6129:
------------------------------------

It lies on how you think it is "secure"? We encrypt the password in 
user.properties because it is the plain text before. Anyway, I am not opposing 
using xml, my focus is a function like following:

1. A portlet for "system user" to edit other user's access pages. This 
corresponding a data structure like:
<user>
<name>aaa</name>
<pages>
<page>Welcome</page>
<page>Server Information</page>
<page>Java System Info</page>
</pages>
</user>

2. A portlet for every user to edit his basic mode shortcuts, which 
corresponding a data structure also like:
<user>
<name>system</name>
<pages>
<page>AAA</page>
<page>BBB</page>
<page>CCC</page>
</pages>
</user>

The only constraint is the pages in #2 must be the subset of #1. If you decide 
use a xml to records such information, I think they are exactly the same 
schema. :-)

> Make 2 improvements for Admin Console navigation:
> 1) Centralized configuration file for portlet category
>    The portlet category is hard-coded in the gbean attribute 'pageTitle' in 
> 'plan.xml' of each portlet in current implementation. It makes the category 
> configuration distributed in multiple files which are hard to maintain.
>    This improvement targets to keep only title in 'pageTitle' and provide a 
> centralized configuration file for portlet category. It also enables runtime 
> configuration.
> 2) User based navigation tree
>    This improvement is a part of 
> [GERONIMO-5675|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5675]. But it 
> provides more flexible configuration which makes the basic tree and the 
> advanced tree can be customized independently.
