Hello Everybody,
I uploaded a couple of screenshots for the mod_cluster plugin prototype. During yesterday's design review meeting there were some concerns regarding the user interface/presentation of webapp contexts. mazz had a great suggestion to treat every webapp as sub-service to the main mod_cluster service.
http://www.rhq-project.org/display/RHQ/Design+-+mod_cluster#Design-mod_cluster-PrototypeScreens
As you can see, each webapp context is a sub-service of main mod_cluster service (on the left hand inventory tree). The name of each sub-service is very descriptive (with path and host). Users can enable/disable/stop webapp contexts from the Operations tab of each sub-service. Global operations (eg. Reset the node) are available only through mod_cluster Operations tab. In the current version of mod_cluster, all the configuration settings are global (eg. Sticky Sessions) so only the main service has a Configuration tab.
How does this look? Is a "webapp context" still confusing after seeing these screenshots? Any other suggestions on how to organize/structure the UI?
Thank you,
Stefan Negrea
