Karaf's WebConsole as a web portal for all features?
Hello Karaf team,
I am thinking of tapping to Karaf's webconsole subproject to implement
my feature's specific WebUI. This way I can reuse most of the
infrastructures like login, rolebase authorization..
is it the right direction?
Thanks
-Dan

yep, the main logic behind this is provided by pax wicket. IMHO it
depends what you want to do. If it's more a development infrastructure
you want to provide using the webconsole is a very great idea; in case
you would like to create an "own" application it might be better to
consider creating a new application. Pax-Wicket allows you to keep
both side by side. The entire mounting logic, osgi logic, and so forth
is coming from pax-wicket and not the webconsole.
Kind regards,
Andreas

To extend navigation you simply publish NavigationProvider implementations in OSGi service registry.

Thanks Andreas, I am looking at the webconsole source, and it is very promising.
Basically webconsole/osgi infrastructure allows various groups in my
company have their own mount points and navigation entries.
Thanks

Basically it's extending an interface and register it as osgi service;
best to look at the webconsole code or wait for lukasz' comment.

Nothing to do here; the extensions are own packages.

No you don't. You're your own bundle; the remaining issues are handled by osgi.

Hi Lukasz,
So I can just implement my own bundles with all hooks required by
webconsole. How do you integrate? in term of packaging? Do i need to
be part of WebConsole feature?
Thanks

Hey Dan,
Sure you can re-use webconsole codebase. The login infrastructure basically delegates authorization to JAAS realm named karaf. If you will need any assistance wit extensions, just type to dev@. We are more than happy to help you. There are few base classes than you can extend to get basic L&F in place. To extend navigation you simply publish NavigationProvider implementations in OSGi service registry.
Best regards,
Lukasz
