RHQ doesn't support dynamic resource plugin metadata, so that it can not decide how to render the configuration UI components at runtime. The use case mentioned in the community discuss: http://community.jboss.org/message/586549#586549 requires RHQ to have a ability to override the configuration definition in build-time resource plugin metadata, so that it can change the configuration component UI component`s attributes at runtime. Created attachment 479840 [details]
screen shot for the jca config-properties configuration list
For example:
In the following configuration definition:
<resource-configuration>
<c:group name="ConfigProperties" displayName="All Config Properties">
<c:list-property required="false" name="config-property" readOnly="true">
<c:map-property name="config-property">
<c:simple-property name="name" readOnly="true" />
<c:simple-property name="type" readOnly="true">
<c:property-options>
<c:option value="java.lang.String"/>
<c:option value="java.lang.Boolean"/>
<c:option value="java.lang.Integer"/>
<c:option value="java.lang.Double"/>
</c:property-options>
</c:simple-property>
<c:simple-property name="value" required="false" />
</c:map-property>
</c:list-property>
</c:group>
</resource-configuration>
The simple-property of 'value' here is not defined as read only, and please refer to the attached screenshot:config-properties.png, in this case, the property name: 'LTMCFPropIntegerOne' should be read only, which is a requirement of JCA 1.6; the property name: 'MyConfidentialProperty' needs to be displayed as: '*****', which is a requirement of JCA 1.6 also.
But currently, all these config properties are not read only and displayed as plain text. We need RHQ to support that.

This is a feature proposal: In the resource configuration: <c:list-property name="config-property"> <c:map-property name="config-property"> <c:simple-property name="name" readOnly="true" /> <c:simple-property name="value" /> </c:map-property> </c:list-property> in some cases, some of the 'value' properties need to be read only, others do not. In the case of JCA 1.6, it depends on the config-property`s dynamic attribute value(true or false). In current implementation, UI rendering is pre-defined in the rhq-plugin.xml, and can not be changed at runtime. Use case comes from the discuss: http://community.jboss.org/thread/161336 Please refer to the mail list thread: https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/rhq-users/2011-February/000319.html
