Sample Project to show the Integration Point to GlassFish v3 Admin Console

Last updated on 9/11/208

A sample is created that shows how to extend the Admin Console by using Integration Points . The source code of the project and the resulting plugin module is checked in the glassfish-samples project.

Here is the instructions on how to checkout the sample and try it out.

Download and install Maven2 version 2.0.9

You can get that from http://maven.apache.org/download.html
After installation, verify it by

mvn -version

Checkout the project

Change the username to your java.net user account name.

cvs -d :pserver:username@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs co glassfish-samples/v3/plugin/adminconsole/console-sample-ip

Build the project (optional as the jar itself has been checked out)

cd glassfish-samples/v3/plugin/adminconsole/console-sample-ip/project
mvn install

Copy the plugin module to the modules directory and start the server

cp glassfish-samples/v3/plugin/adminconsole/console-sample-ip/target/console-sample-ip-plugin-3.0-Prelude.jar  <GFv3-prelude>/glassfish/modules/
<GFv3-prelude>/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain

By default, access the console by http://localhost:4848/

Files that you should examine:

1. src/main/java/org/glassfish/admingui/plugin/SamplePlugin.java
This is the Java Class which implements the ConsoleProvider @Contract. This is done so your plugin can be discovered by the GlassFish v3 Administration Console. Implementing the ConsoleProvider interface is simply a matter of annotating your class with the @Service annotation and implementing its single method.

2. src/main/resources/META-INF/admingui/console-config.xml
This file shows you how to declare your "IntegrationPoints."

3. src/main/resources/*.jsf
These are files that is specified as the content of the integration points.

Here is a couple screenshots
