# A Integration Point Reference

This appendix provides reference information about integration points, which are described in Extending the Administration Console. For complete information about integration points, see ``.

Define an integration point for each user interface feature in the `console-config.xml` file for your add-on component.

The following topics are addressed here:

- Integration Point Attributes

- `org.glassfish.admingui:navNode` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanel` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanelTitle` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:serverInstTab` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:commonTask` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:configuration` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:resources` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:customtheme` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:masthead` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:loginimage` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:loginform` Integration Point

- `org.glassfish.admingui:versioninfo` Integration Point

## Integration Point Attributes

For each `integration-point` element, specify the following attributes. Each attribute takes a string value.

`id`

  An identifier for the integration point. The remaining sections of this appendix do not provide details about specifying this attribute.

`parentId`

  The ID of the integration point's parent.

`type`

  The type of the integration point.

`priority`

  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of integration points with the same `parentId`. A lower number specifies a higher priority (for example, 100 represents a higher priority than 400). You may need to experiment in order to place the integration point where you want it. This attribute is optional.

`content`

  A relative path to the JavaServer Faces page that contains the content to be integrated. Typically, the file contains a JavaServer Faces code fragment that is incorporated into a page. The code fragment often specifies a link to another JavaServer Faces page that appears when a user clicks the link.

## `org.glassfish.admingui:navNode` Integration Point

Use an `org.glassfish.admingui:navNode` integration point to insert a node in the Administration Console navigation tree. Specify the attributes and their content as follows.

`type`

  `org.glassfish.admingui:navNode`, the left-hand navigation tree

`parentId`

  The `id` value of the `navNode` that is the parent for this node. The `parentId` can be any of the following:

  `tree`

    The root node of the entire navigation tree. Use this value to place your node at the top level of the tree. You can then use the `id` of this node to create additional nodes beneath it.

  `registration`

    The Registration node

  `applicationServer`

    The GlassFish Server node

  `applications`

    The Applications node

  `resources`

    The Resources node

  `configuration`

    The Configuration node

  `webContainer`

    The Web Container node under the Configuration node

  `httpService`

    The HTTP Service node under the Configuration node

  Note:

  The `webContainer` and `httpService` nodes are available only if you installed the web container module for the Administration Console (the `console-web-gui.jar` OSGi bundle).

`priority`

  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of the node on the tree, whether at the top level or under another node.

`content`

  A relative path to the JavaServer Faces page that contains the content to be integrated, or a URL to an external resource that returns the appropriate data structure for inclusion.

For an example, see Example 3-2.

## `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanel` Integration Point

Use an `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanel` integration point to specify content for the right frame of the Administration Console. Specify the attributes and their content as follows.

`type`

  `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanel`

`parentId`

  None.

`priority`

  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering. If multiple plug-ins specify content for the right frame, the one with greater priority will take precedence.

`content`

  A path relative to the root of the plug-in JAR file to a file containing the content for the right panel. Alternatively, it may contain a full URL which will deliver the content for the right panel.

## `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanelTitle` Integration Point

Use an `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanel` integration point to specify the title for the right frame of the Administration Console. Specify the attributes and their content as follows.

`type`

  `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanelTitle`

`parentId`

  None.

`priority`

  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering. If multiple plug-ins specify content for the right frame, the one with greater priority will take precedence.

`content`

  Specifies the title to display at the top of the right panel.

## `org.glassfish.admingui:serverInstTab` Integration Point

Use an `org.glassfish.admingui:serverInstTab` integration point to place an additional tab on the GlassFish Server page of the Administration Console. Specify the attributes and their content as follows.

`type`

  `org.glassfish.admingui:serverInstTab`

`parentId`

  The `id` value of the tab set that is the parent for this tab. For a top-level tab on this page, this value is `serverInstTabs`, the tab set that contains the general information property pages for GlassFish Server.

  For a sub-tab, the value is the `id` value for the parent tab.

`priority`

  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of the tab on the page, whether at the top level or under another tab.

`content`

  A relative path to the JavaServer Faces page that contains the content to be integrated.

  When you use this integration point, your JavaServer Faces page must call the `setSessionAttribute` handler for the `command` event to set the session variable of the `serverInstTabs` tab set to the `id` value of your tab. For example, the file may have the following content:

      <sun:tab id="sampletab" immediate="true" text="Sample First Tab">
          <!command
              setSessionAttribute(key="serverInstTabs" value="sampleTab");
              gf.redirect(page="#{request.contextPath}/page/tabPage.jsf?name=Sample%20First%20Tab");
          />
      </sun:tab>

  The `id` of the `sun:tab` custom tag must be the same as the `value` argument of the `setSessionAttribute` handler.

For examples, see Example 3-4 and Example 3-5.

## `org.glassfish.admingui:commonTask` Integration Point

Use an `org.glassfish.admingui:commonTask` integration point to place a new task or task group on the Common Tasks page of the Administration Console. Specify the attributes and their content as follows.

`type`

  `org.glassfish.admingui:commonTask`

`parentId`

  If you are adding a task group, the `id` value of the Common Tasks page, which is `commonTasksSection`.

  If you are adding a single task, the `id` value of the task group that is the parent for this tab, such as `deployment` (for the Deployment group).

`priority`

  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of the tab on the page, whether at the top level or under another tab.

`content`

  A relative path to the JavaServer Faces page that contains the content to be integrated.

For examples, see Example 3-7 and Example 3-9.

`type`

  `org.glassfish.admingui:customtheme`

`priority`

  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of the item in comparison to other themes. This value must be between 1 and 100. The theme with the smallest number is used first.

`content`

  The name of the properties file that contains the key/value pairs that will be used to access your theme JAR file. You must specify the following keys:

  `com.sun.webui.theme.DEFAULT_THEME`

    Specifies the theme name for the theme that this application may depend on.
