Re: Adding a page to a plugin
Thanks all for pointing out the documentation. Looks like its pretty detailed too. Will be very helpful. Will improve it if anything missing Regards Manu On Feb 9, 2008 1:11 AM, Joseph Leong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just an update.

Re: Adding a page to a plugin
Just an update. I'm not sure exactly why the steps i took the first time didn't work... but it seems nothing was wrong with my procedure. I Re-downloaded trunk, re-implemented and everything worked just like a charm. The only difference between the two was the way i imported the projected into eclipse. The first method was unconventional and the second method was via mvn eclipse:eclipse Anyhow so for future reference, it is 1) Creating the handler page. 2) Creating the jsp page 3) Adding the addhelper in the ImportExport portlet. Now i can finally move along and finish this piece. Thanks again for everyone's input.

Re: Adding a page to a plugin
Right, the doc in the wiki about the extensible admin console was really only helpful for Manu's followup to your question. The mutipage portlet code you referred to is internal to the admin console and afaik is not documented anywhere nor is it intended to be exposed as an externally supported api. Creating an admin console extension does not require you to implement your portlet this way. Paul On Feb 8, 2008, at 10:37 AM, Joseph Leong wrote: Thank you for all the responses! The piece i'm working on is the plugin installer in the console, but it seems to be built with some sort of multipage model framework. So this part of it is working a little differently than the documentation, but It just so happens that your wiki references on the extensible administration console will really help on the debug viewer plugin piece i'm working on. I'll post updates on what the missing piece was once i figure it out, feel it'll save someone down the road a good bit of time should they go down this route and find any other pieces of the console working on this multipage model framework.

Re: Adding a page to a plugin
Thank you for all the responses! The piece i'm working on is the plugin installer in the console, but it seems to be built with some sort of multipage model framework. So this part of it is working a little differently than the documentation, but It just so happens that your wiki references on the extensible administration console will really help on the debug viewer plugin piece i'm working on. I'll post updates on what the missing piece was once i figure it out, feel it'll save someone down the road a good bit of time should they go down this route and find any other pieces of the console working on this multipage model framework.

Re: Adding a page to a plugin
OK, found the "source" on the Develpoer's Guide page - http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/administration-console-extension-developers-guide.html Seems that it should be in /geronimo/samples/branches/2.1 and we should combine these 2 wiki pages into one. Anyway, at least its documented -Donald Donald Woods wrote: Where is the source code for the Hello World example Portlet included at the bottom of page - http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/administration-console-extension-users-guide.html Also, shouldn't we either link or copy this into the 2.1 Docs??? Telling people to look in 2 different wiki spaces screams confusion and lack of usability for our users. -Donald Joe Bohn wrote: Manu George wrote: Hi, On a related note , since the pluggable console was introduced is there any doc on how to include new portlets or on the architecture of the pluggable console.

Re: Adding a page to a plugin
There is some documentation on the extensible admin console here which describes the architecture and has samples: http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/extensible-administration-console.html If you are writing a plugin for the admin console then I would encourage you to look over that documentation and improve/correct it as you see fit.
