> 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.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_namehint.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.
> example (using SCR annotation):
> {code:java}
> @Property(name = "webconsole.configurationFactory.nameHint", value = "{serviceName}: {ribbonHosts}")
> {code}
> this will help on a lot of services, e.g. factory configurations for log configuration an others.
