Project Information - http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16376 Roadmap - https://issues.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS Issue Tracking - Source Code:      - Authoritative master: https://github.com/jbossas/console https://github.com/jbossas/console      - Most recent: https://github.com/heiko-braun/as7-console https://github.com/heiko-braun/as7-console - Jenkins: http://hudson.qa.jboss.com/hudson/job/AS7ManagementConsole/lastBuild/buil... http://hudson.qa.jboss.com/hudson/job/AS7ManagementConsole/lastBuild/buil... If you are looking for stable build, then you should consider the jbossas/console repository. Current development however, takes place on heiko-braun/as7-console. Stable milestones will be merged upstream infrequently. ---- h3. Goals - Deliver consistent user experience across products - Aim for a conceptual model that represents the semantics/intentions of the domain model - Share authentication with other management API entry points - Manage both domain and standalone scenarios - Provide extension points to layered products - Remain lightweight and minimize dependencies h3. h3. Requirements - Provide management operations for all subsystems (See http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16474 ManagementConsoleModelStructure) - Allow remote deployment - Manage user and groups that access the management infrastructure - Support i18n h3. h3. Design Considerations - Core UI Abstraction: MVP (See http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16462 ManagementConsolePatterns) - How does authentication work from the console? (See http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16447 ManagementAPISecurityDesign) - Look & Feel (See http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16464 ManagementConsoleScreens) h3. Implementation Choices - http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/ SmartGWT (used by JON already) - http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/AutoBean AutoBean an option? Would be nice to avoid having to work overlay types directly. - http://restygwt.fusesource.org/ RestGWT might be a good choice Has a proper service abstraction, plus Json-Java serialization which might be useful - http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/ GWT Platform (MVP Abstraction) h3. h3. h3. Architectural Issues - Embedded HTTP or Servlet Engine? - Same Origin Policy constraint - Deployment support for standalone & domain - Testability: Working with GWT hosted mode - Testability: Unit testing h3. h3. Performance, Compatibility - SmartGWT layout managers (See http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16470 ManagementConsoleUIPerformance) h3.
