Hi!
Been thinking about the EJX GUI. Right now it's a 2-step process: first
edit ejb-jar.xml with the EJB 1.1 plugin, and then add jBoss stuff with
the other EJX plugin. If you want to make any changes you'll have to
know which info goes where and load up the right plugin. This is a
usability problem IMHO.
How about this:
Since the jBoss plugin is an extension of the EJB 1.1 plugin it would
actually be feasible to make it a visual extension as well, i.e. one
would be able to modify *both* ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml through the
jBoss plugin. This would make it much easier to work with I think, and
much easier to keep in sync. For example, right now if you want to
remove a bean you'd have to load up the EJB 1.1 plugin, remove it, save,
open it again with the jBoss plugin, and save.
Would it be better to be able to do the configuration through one UI
instead of two? Would it be confusing? Clicking "save" while in the
jBoss plugin would cause two files to be created (both ejb-jar.xml *and*
jboss.xml).
Comments please.
