[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: User Portlet Discussion

[Antoine_h]

Hello,

********************
Ordering the view of users, or roles.
********************
today, the users are not sorted.
after modify a user, the list show in different order.
quite confusing.

so, usual database / table gui features : sorting on each columns. (easy now with jsf components).

********************
configurable list of user 
********************
Ability to chose the columns that show in the list. 
The column of the properties of the profile.

when managing quiet a lot of users, one or two profile properties are usefull to see in the list.
 - ordering on that property to immidiatly select the user to work on, like adding roles etc....
 - view at a glance all the users that are "like this or like that". (no need to enter the user profile screen to see this).

example : see in the list the date of last visit of the portal.

********************
Multi selection screens, with action on the selected list.
********************
example : selection of n users, then adding this role to them.

********************
Logged in users
********************
the feature of seeing "who is logged in now".
I have seen this feature is being developped, and at least feasible with some interceptors of the new API.
This is not part of User profile data, but this info in one column of the user list would be nice, for admin working on a user data.

And it would be a good example on "how to do this" for people that want to make there own feature of this kind.

********************
Packaging the user stuff appart
********************
if not yet done.
a separate packaging for the user/role gui admin
a separate packaging for the identity services (this is not gui, but this is important too).
use case : for customizing, suppress the jboss package, and deploy a new customized one. This is more clean and quick for prod, or even quick installation of a new server for dev (upgrade RC1, RC2, GA, X.X.1 GA...)

********************
RichFaces ?
********************
if RichFaces is ready when this is developped : would be great
and a great example for the one that want to see "how to".

hope that helps
