New front end for Stratos Controller
Hi,
>From time to time, the need of a separate front-end for Statos came up in
various other threads. Here I'm starting this thread to bootstrap the
effort.
Why not existing UI:
- The current admin console is derived from the Carbon UI framework
- It has the 'Carbon' look.
- Little bit hard to customize
- It depends on WS backend calls
The proposed frontend:
- A webapp sitting inside Carbon framework (make use of embedded tomcat)
- We can decide on the final look and feel
- easy to host/customize (can host in separate tomcat instance if the user
wants)
- uses REST calls for backend communication.
wdyt ?
If you find this feature useful, other question would be,
- what web technologies to use (jsp,gwt,etc)
- the end design (wire-frames)
thanks,
--Pradeep

Hi,
Looks like Imesh has already included this in a JIRA task [1]. cool.

I think Django would be a good option. It's a Python based framework which provides many built-in features:
- An ORM for easy data access
- An Administrative UI for user management
- Follows MVC pattern (with slightly different terminology: Model -> Model, View -> Template, Controller-> View)
- Rapid Form development including validations
- Clean URL management
- Provides a standalone web server for development
- Could be deployed in Apache web server with mod_python

Yes. I also think we should stick to Java.
I'm thinking of JSF + PrimeFaces :)
I will list the pros and cons later when I get some time.

Hi Devs/Chris,
If we choose the path of pure javascript/html how would we tackle the
authentication problem. Now since all the code get executed in the client
side (browser) we cannot make use of any application secret
for authenticate to backend. In Oauth2.0 they have introduced a implicit
gran type for such applications...
just a thought..

GWT has already been mentioned, what about going one step further and
developing a pure javascript/html single page application (SPA) that could
be deployed to any web server (including AWS cloudfront)? The SPA would
communicate with the backend over REST. Page 13 of this presentation shows
the architecture:
http://www.slideshare.net/rohitsghatol/building-single-page-applications.
A carefully designed SPA could also be packaged as a mobile application
using cordova/phonegap, which may be a nice selling point for stratos?

Re: New front end for Stratos Controller
Posted by Ishmal Bartley <Is...@caremore.com>.
Will there still be a RESTful api? I thought that creating the api would enable "any" language with URI support to be used to manage/control a Stratos instance

IMO we should stick to Java ..
Personally I'm going to push for Jaggery of course :-).

I think Django would be a good option. It's a Python based framework which provides many built-in features:
- An ORM for easy data access
- An Administrative UI for user management
- Follows MVC pattern (with slightly different terminology: Model -> Model, View -> Template, Controller-> View)
- Rapid Form development including validations
- Clean URL management
- Provides a standalone web server for development
- Could be deployed in Apache web server with mod_python
Thanks

Hi,
From time to time, the need of a separate front-end for Statos came up in various other threads. Here I'm starting this thread to bootstrap the effort.
Why not existing UI:
- The current admin console is derived from the Carbon UI framework
- It has the 'Carbon' look.
- Little bit hard to customize
- It depends on WS backend calls
The proposed frontend:
- A webapp sitting inside Carbon framework (make use of embedded tomcat)
- We can decide on the final look and feel
- easy to host/customize (can host in separate tomcat instance if the user wants)
- uses REST calls for backend communication.
wdyt ?
If you find this feature useful, other question would be,
- what web technologies to use (jsp,gwt,etc)
- the end design (wire-frames)
thanks,

The interface not only needs to be written from ground up but the
looks and features should also improve. A feature recommendation is to
create the Cartridges from within the Interface - this should not be
complicated for openStack as the imageID and name should be fetch
using the glance API - therefore a drop-down menu would allow for a
selection of the images to be used as Stratos Cartridges.
