My two cents worth ... I'm very excited at the prospect of a Tapestry application being directly integrated into JBoss (I'm the author of Tapestry). I'm not sure if Jim came up with this idea seperately from me, but I had the idea of a JMX adaptor for JBoss a while back.
I favor the idea of using the JBoss branding as part of the user interface. I also favor the idea of having a big plug for Tapestry on every page :-> ... however, Jim's doing the work, so its his call. I'm hoping that this JMXView will signficantly extend the capabilities of the default HTML connector (that's the new term, right?). I've expressed, on the Tapestry developer list, some of the ideas I've had. Basically, the view should have a layer between the UI and the raw JMX that controls what properties and methods are displayed, and how. I would like to see a more tab-oriented view. I would like to be able to merge things like property "State" and "StateString" as just "State". I would like a way to say "this field has only these possible options, present them as a drop-down list". I would like the ability to hide properties and methods, and have the "configuration" persist between sessions in some way. I would like to be able to group MBeans into a "favorites" list. Potentially, even grouping properties of disparate beans into a single form, to make several changes all at once. In other words, I want an evironment where the user has significantly more control, where its more user-centric and less MBean-centric. In the long run, I'm also open to the idea of merging Tapestry into the JBoss umbrella. _________________________________________________________ View thread online: http://main.jboss.org/thread.jsp?forum=66&thread=11622 _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
