Adding a page to a plugin
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to add a page to a plugin. After tracing the code, it is running
through the handler ie.. hitting the actionBeforeView and going into the
renderView. However nothing of my jsp page is showing up.
The steps i've taken are: 1) Create the handler page 2) create the jsp page
3) Add the "addhelper" in the ImportExportPortlet.java
Is there anything blatantly obvious that I'm missing? Or i will continue to
work with these 3 pieces.
Thanks!

Thanks all for pointing out the documentation. Looks like its pretty
detailed too. Will be very helpful. Will improve it if anything
missing

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.
Wishing everyone the best,

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.

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.
Wishing you all the best,
Joseph Leong

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....

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

There's some doc in the wiki:
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/extensible-administration-console.html
Joe
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.
Best wishes,
Paul

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. A doc will really go a long way in helping
others develop new portlets. A list of files to look at will in itself
be a great help.
Thanks
Manu
