Hey guys,
Since we have bunch of features in current prototype I would like to start
talking about roadmap and other communities involvement.
What we currently have:
- Security layer integrated with JAAS, also with support for roles (based on
Ioannis jaas-blog example).
Every subpage can have different set of principals allowed to watch it
- for example we can introduce karaf-manager and developer roles and so on.
- Support for basic OSGi operations
Start, stop, refresh and uninstall operations on bundles
- Extensible bundles view which allows to add new columns
As an example you can check blueprint module
- Support for basic karaf operations
Viewing, installing features, listing repositories and adding new ones
- Extensible dashboard with widgets possible to be added dynamically by
webconsole modules
- Example ServiceMix extension which lists endpoints, exchanges and exchange
details
- Support for translations throught wicket i18n mechanism
- Support for branding based on OSGi BrandProvider services, not only on
fragment resource overrides.
Felix WebConsole contains much more features eg. viewing the logs, editing the
configurations (it's broken currently in our case) managing Karaf instances and
so on. I started thinking about announcing our work to these user communities
who may be interested in extensions. With them we can discuss scope of
webconsole (and their extensions). I think we are close to stabilize core APIs
and start working on first version which should be released before end of this
year.
Communities which may be involved:
- servicemix (especially in context of smx5)
- camel
- felix
- sling
- geronimo (since it is OSGi based)
- activemq?
- cxf?
WDYT, are we ready to ask them for help and cooperation?
Best regards,
Lukasz
