Gianny Damour commented on GERONIMO-2248:
-----------------------------------------

Thanks for this patch. I think that this is a great add-on.

I also think that if you can add a new screen to display parent and child configurations, this would be better. Also, I am not sure why Aaron is raising a problem with respect to loading a configuration to get the parents and children configurations of a configuration. My understanding is that this will only load and start (and not start recursive) the configuration. Also, you can easily get much more information from the Configuration class, e.g. ClassParents, ServiceParents. So just after having loaded a configuration, you can do ConfigurationManager.getConfiguration.

> Applications portlets currently provide component status and links to start/stop/restart/uninstall.  They do not provide a listing of parent components and child components.
> If child components are listed, a user will immediatley know what all configurations will be stopped if a particular component is stopped.
> How is it useful?
> I have stopped " geronimo/system-database/1.1.1-SNAPSHOT/car" to test something.  Only after an error HTTP 404 was displayed next,  I realized that the admin console had a dependency on "geronimo/system-database/1.1.1-SNAPSHOT/car".  Had there been a Child Components listing next to "geronimo/system-database/1.1.1-SNAPSHOT/car", it would have avoided the surprise.
