             Summary: Web Console: Display templated name hint for factory 
configuration entries
                 Key: FELIX-4710
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4710
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Web Console
    Affects Versions: webconsole-4.2.2
            Reporter: Stefan Seifert


currently for each factory configuration entry in the web console only a very 
cryptic name is displayed, consisting of the factory PID and a GUID. this is 
very inconvenient esp. if there are a lot of entries and the user want to edit 
a specific one:
!factoryconfig_namehint.gif!

proposal: the author of the OSGi service with factory configuration should be 
able to provide a "nameHint" template to display a nice human-readable name, 
and display the pid+gui only as tooltip:
!factoryconfig.gif!

attached is a patch with draft implementation of this based on an optional 
service property {{webconsole.configurationFactory.nameHint}} which can be set 
on the service which can reference other property names with placeholders. the 
web console then displays this name hint with the configured values replaced.

this will help on a lot of services, e.g. factory configurations for log 
configuration an others.
