Description Simeon Pinder 2012-02-22 19:42:54 UTC

Description of problem: Managed resource list in left navigation tree is too verbose for AS7.
JBossAS 4
 -> Applications
 -> JBoss Cache subsystem
 -> JVM
 -> Resources 

JBossAS 7
 -> datasources
 -> deployment-scanner
 -> infinispan
 -> logging
 -> naming
 -> Network Interfaces
 -> platform-mbean
 -> resource-adapters
 -> security
 -> SocketBindingGroupStandalones
 -> threads
 -> transactions
 -> webservices
 -> web
This list represents various subsystems, components, etc in and unorganized list.

Instead the hierarchy should read something like the following for AS7 instead:
  -> Deployments
  -> System Properties/Pathes
  -> Core Services
  -> Extensions
  -> Network Interfaces
  -> Socket Binding Groups
  -> Subsystems

To better reflect the hierarchical organization as reported by the json/dmr component hierarchy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
N/A.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. N/A.

  
Actual results:
Unordered with subsystems displayed as top level entities. 

Expected results:
More ordered listing.

Correction. System Properties/Paths don't need to appear in this list as they should just be light properties of the AS7 instance as loaded by <c:group name="children:system-property:name+" ...

Comment 2 Simeon Pinder 2012-02-23 09:07:13 UTC

The first approach, used by AS4 and AS5 plugin descriptors, does not work with AS7.  See bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796480.

I may have to toss this one back to Heiko as it's more difficult to address the tree re-organization than I initially thought.  An alternative approach would be to create an over-arching ResourceType for all Subsystem resource for example. I'm not sure how well that would work with some of the subsystems having numerous parents as defined by runs-inside.

I'll assign this one to Heiko for now.

Comment 4 Heiko W. Rupp 2012-05-22 07:51:35 UTC

Looks like our 

<runs-inside> with multiple targets seems to break sub-categories.

I think we need to update the plugin metadata parser to apply the subcategory
for all the children of the runs-inside. 

We have had similar issues where upgrades to some metric definitions did not make  it to derived resources (Bug 747925) - but then we may hit a different cause here.

Comment 5 Larry O'Leary 2012-11-21 22:47:45 UTC

Removing target as this needs to be triaged in RHQ project and is not JBoss ON specific.
